Question

The number of square tiles of side 25cm which can be paved on a rectangular floor of 3m

× 2m is:

Answer 1

96 square tiles can be paved on a rectangular floor.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the area of the square tiles:

`A_(t) = (25 cm)^(2) = 625 cm^(2)`

Now, the area of the rectangular floor is:

`A_(f) = 3m*2m = 6 m^(2)*((100 cm)^(2))/(1 m^(2)) = 60000 cm^(2)`

Finally, the number of square tiles which can be paved on a rectangular floor is:

`N = (A_(f))/(A_(t)) = (60000 cm^(2))/(625 cm^(2)) = 96`

Therefore, 96 square tiles can be paved on a rectangular floor.
