Answer:

316 pieces of wooden floor tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

From research, the standard size of floor tiles used in kitchen is mostly:

1 ft x 1 ft in dimension.

Now, we are told that the area is precisely 287.5 square feet.

Thus, number of tiles required is;

n = 287.5/(1 × 1)

n = 287.5 tiles

Usually, we make room for 10% wastage.

Thus, we will provide;

N = 287.5 × 1.1

N = 316.25 ≈ 316 pieces of tiles
