Answer:

265

Explanation:

Let t represent the number of tiles needed. Then the area covered by those t tiles will be ...

area = t·0.34 ft²

We want that area to be 90 ft², so we can solve this equation for t:

90 ft² = t·(0.34 ft²)

90 ft²/(0.34 ft²) = t ≈ 264.71

About 265 tiles are needed to cover 90 ft².
