Answer 1

Given:

Room is 5 meters by 8 meters.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the room=5}*8 \\ \text{Area of the room=}40m^2 \end{gathered}`
`1m^2=1550inch^2`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of each tile=14}*14 \\ \text{Area of each tile=}196inch^2 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Number of tiles to floor the room=}(40*1550)/(196) \\ \text{Number of tiles to floor the room}=316.3265 \end{gathered}`
