Part A

Area of the bathroom floor = Length X Width


\begin{gathered} \text{Length = 4}(2)/(5)\text{ = }(22)/(5) \\ \text{Width = 6}(3)/(4)\text{ = }(27)/(4) \\ \text{Area = L x B} \\ =\text{ }(22)/(5)\text{ X }(27)/(4) \\ =\text{ }(187)/(10) \end{gathered}

Part B

Number of boxes of tiles


\begin{gathered} =\text{ }((187)/(10))/(5) \\ =\text{ }\frac{187}{10\text{ X 5}} \\ =\text{ }(187)/(50) \\ =3.74 \\ =\text{ 4 boxes} \end{gathered}
