Question

Tamara needs tiles to make a border for her bathroom wall. The border will be 9 feet long and 1/3 foot wide. Each tile measures 1/3 by 1/3 foot. Each box of tiles contains 6 tiles. How many boxes of tiles does Tamara need? Write two equations that can be used to solve the problem.

Answer 1

X is the integer, the smallest integer such that x >= 4.5 is x = 5.

Tamara needs 5 boxes of tiles.


Equation representation:

6x times (1/3) times (1/3) >= 9 times (1/3)

(2/3)x > = 3

x >= 4.5

Answer 2

Hi I'm always here to help!!!

______________________________

6x*(1/3)*(1/3) >= 9*(1/3)

(2/3)x >= 3

x >= 4.5

Since x is integer, the smallest integer such that x >= 4.5 is x = 5.

Tamara needs 5 boxes of tiles.
