Question

A rectangular floor of area 360 m2 is going to be tiled. Each tile is rectangular, and has an area of 240 cm2. An exact number of tiles can be put into the space. How many tiles will be needed?

Answer 1

1500

Explanation:

The area of the regtangular floor is 360m². The floor is going to be retired with tiles having area of 240cm² . We need to find the number of times . Therefore ,

`\implies 360m^2 = 360 * 10^4 \ cm^2`

And , the number of tiles required will be ,

`\implies n =(Area \ of \ floor)/(Area \ of \ a \ tile )\\\\\implies n =( 360 * 10^4 \ cm^2)/(240 cm^2) \\\\\implies \underline{\underline{ n = 1,500 }}`

Hence the required answer is 1500 .
