161 1-foot tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many tiles we need,
We must find the area of the kitchen.

To find the area, you multiply
length x width

In this question,
the length is 14
the width is 11.5

14 x 11.5 is 161.

So 161 1-foot tiles to cover the kitchen.

Hope this helps! Have a gud day!
