Question

How many tiles with dimensions 14 cm and 9 cm will be needed to fit in a rectangular

region whose length and breadth are 168 cm and 72 cm respectively?

Answer 1

96 tiles

Explanation:

The number of tiles measured 14 cm and 9 cm that will fit into a rectangular

region whose length and breadth are 168 cm and 72 cm may be computed as a ratio of the areas of the two rectangles.

Hence number of tiles

= 168 * 72/14 * 9

= 12 * 8

= 96 tiles
