Question

A contractor is installing tiles on a floor that measures 132 x 216 inches. If each tile measures 4 x 4 inches, how many tiles will the contractor use to cover the floor?

Answer 1

1782 tiles

Explanation:

Given that:

Dimension fo floor = 132 x 216 inches

Area of floor = 132 * 216 = 28512 in²

Dimension of tiles = 4 * 4 inches

Area of tiles = 4 * 4 = 16 in²

Number of tiles needed to cover floor :

Area of floor / Area of tiles

28512 in² / 16 in²

= 1782 tiles
