Answer 2

Answer: 60,000 tiles

Explanation:

First find the area of the mural.

= 3 * 2

= 6 m²

The find the area of the tiles.

= 1 * 1

= 1 cm²

I m² = 10,000 cm²

There is therefore:

= 6 * 10,000

= 60,000 cm²

That is the area that needs to be covered in cm²

Seeing as each tile is 1cm², the number of tiles needed is:

= 60,000 / 1

= 60,000 tiles
