Question

jeanette wants to tile the floor of a room in her house. the square tiles measure 3/4 ft on each side. the room is 10 ft wide. write and solve an inequality to describe how many tiles are needed to make 1 row

Answer 1

First off i dont like using fractions so i will convert 3/4 into 0.75 to start. Then i would divide 0.75 into 10 and that equals 13 and 1/3

The answer is 13 tiles and 1/3 of a tile to make one row

Answer 2

14

Explanation:

Late the number of tile =x .

According to question we can write .

`(3)/(4) *x\geq 10`

`x\geq 10*(4)/(3)`

`x\geq (40)/(3)\\x\geq 13(1)/(3) \\`

Since the number of tiles cannot be in fraction or decimal hence the number of required tiles is 14
