Answer: There are 972 tiles to cover the kitchen.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of kitchen be


24\ ft\ by\ 18\ ft

Dimension of each tile = 8 inches

We have to find the number of tiles .

So, Number of tiles is given by


\frac{\text{Area of kitchen}}{\text{ Area of tile }}\\\\=(24* 12* 18* 12)/(8* 8)\\\\=(62208)/(64)\\\\=972

Hence, there are 972 tiles to cover the kitchen.
