First, you would multiply 2.5 by 8, getting 20, to find the area. Then, multiply 20 by 12 to convert it into inches, getting 240 inches squared as the area. Then, multiply 2.5 by 6, getting 15, to find the area of each tile. Finally, divide 240 by 15, getting 16, to find the number of tiles needed.
