Step-by-step explanation: just took the test.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Okay, so first we have to figure out the square footage of Mr. McCabe's floor. Luckily, we already know the length, 15, and the width, 25, so we can just multiply them together to find the area of his floor.

15 x 25 = 375

So we now know that the area of the floor is 375 square feet. Each tile is one square foot, so if we divide 375 by 1, we would need 375 tiles to cover his floor.
