Answer:

Explanation:

12 inches per foot

The floor is 9(12) = 108 inches by

12(12) = 144 inches

The floor area is 108(144) = 15552 sq. In.

Each tile is 4(6) = 24 sq. in.

Need 15552/24 = 648 tiles

54 tiles.

9x12=108feet
6x4=24in
Convert 108 feet into inches which will become 1296 inches.

1296/24 will give u 54 tiles
