How many tiles will Caleb need?
tiles

Answer 1

Number of tile need = 300 tiles

Explanation:

Given:

Dimensions of floor = 3 m by 4 m

Perimeter of square tile = 80 cm

Find:

Number of tile need

Computation:

Perimeter of square tile = 4(Side)

80 = 4(Side of tile)

Side of tile = 80 / 4

Side of tile = 20 cm

Side of tile = 0.2 meter

Area of tile = 0.2 x 0.2

Area of tile = 0.04

Area of floor = 3 x 4

Side of tile = 12 square meter

Number of tile need = 12 / 0.04

Number of tile need = 300 tiles
