Question

Myles has a room that is 300 m². If he wants to tile the room using 5 cm x 5 cm tiles, how many whole tiles will he have to use?

Answer 1

Number of whole tiles need = 120,000 tiles

Explanation:

Given:

Area of room = 300 m²

Dimension of each tile = 5cm x 5cm

Find:

Number of whole tiles need

Computation:

Dimension of tile in meter = 5 /100 = 0.05 m

Area of each tile = 0.05 x 0.05

Area of each tile = 0.0025 m²

Number of whole tiles need = Area of room / Area of each tile

Number of whole tiles need = 300 / 0.0025

Number of whole tiles need = 120,000 tiles

Total 120,000 tiles need to cover 300 m² room.
