Answer:

Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the bathroom =
18\displaystyle(3)/(4)~feet = \displaystyle(75)/(4)~feet

Length of one tile =
1\displaystyle(1)/(2)~feet = \displaystyle(3)/(2)~feet

Number of tiles required to cover this section =

Formula:


\text{Number of tiles } = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of bathroom}}{\text{Length of tile}}


= \displaystyle((75)/(4))/((3)/(2)) = \displaystyle(75* 2)/(3* 2) = 25

Thus, Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.
