Question

A classroom has a length of 20ft. And a width of 30ft. The flooring is to be replaced by tiles. If each tile has a length of 24 in and a width of 36 in, how many tiles are needed to cover the classroom?

Answer 1

100

Explanation:

first we need to turn the feet into inches

20x12=240

30x12=360

now to get the area of the floor we need to do 360x240=

86,400

now the area of each tile is 24x36=864

now to find out how many tiles fit on the floor we need to do 86,400 divided by 864 which = 100
