Question

Brexton wants to lay some brown and yellow square tiles to cover the

floor. Each tile is one square meter. The number of brown tiles is 3
times the number of yellow tiles. He uses 60 brown tiles. How many
yellow tiles will he need? Explain your answer and show your work.

Answer 1

20 yellow tiles
Since the number of brown tiles, 60, is 3 times the number of yellow tiles you would divide 60 by 3 and get 20.
