Final answer:
Without further information, we cannot agree or disagree with Jazmin's assumption that Riva will use two colors of tiles to cover her table. In mathematics, assumptions must be clear and justified, and without specifics on the number of tile colors or patterns, an exact number of tiles cannot be determined.
option a is the correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is about a student named Riva who wants to use square tiles to cover a table and whether it is correct to assume that she will use two colors of tiles. There is no information provided that suggests Riva is planning to use two colors of tiles; Jazmin's statement seems to be an assumption without any provided evidence. We need more information to agree or disagree with Jazmin's statement.
When tackling a problem like this in mathematics, it is important to make clear and justified assumptions. If the problem does not specify the number of tile colors, it should be clarified before proceeding with a solution, as the number of tile colors can affect the number of tiles needed if there is a pattern or design involved.
In the context of estimating areas, such as finding out how many square tiles Riva would need, one would normally multiply the length and width of the surface. For instance, if the table measures 5 feet by 3 feet, Riva would need 15 square feet of tiles without taking into account the size of each tile. However, without the assumption of tile size or pattern, we cannot give a precise number of tiles needed.
