Question

Vinyl peel and-and-stick floor tiles are each 1- foot square. What is the minimum number of these tiles needed to tile the entire floor of a 12-foot by 14- foot rectangular room, and a 12-foot by 4-foot rectangular hallway?

Answer 1

Number of tiles to tile the room: 168 tiles

Number of tiles to tile the hallway: 48 tiles

Total number of tiles: 216 tiles

Explanation:

To find how many tiles Vinyl needs, we need to find the total area of the room and the hallway, and divide these areas by the area of each floor tile.

The area of a rectangle is calculated with the product between its dimensions (length and width).

Area of floor tile = 1 ft2

Area of rectangular room: 12 foot * 14 foot = 168 ft2

Area of rectangular hallway: 12 foot * 4 foot = 48 ft2

Number of tiles to tile the room: 168/1 = 168 tiles

Number of tiles to tile the hallway: 48/1 = 48 tiles

Total number of tiles: 168 + 48 = 216 tiles

Answer 2

The minimum number of Vinyl peel and stick floor tiles needed is 216 Tiles

Explanation:

Here we have area size of Vinyl peel and stick floor tiles = 1 ft²

Size of floor of rectangular room = 12 ft × 14 ft = 168 ft²

Size of floor on rectangular hallway = 12 ft × 4 ft = 48 ft²

Total area of floor in rectangular room and rectangular hallway

= 168 ft² + 48 ft² = 216 ft²

Therefore number of Vinyl peel and stick floor tiles needed =

(Total area of floor in rectangular room and rectangular hallway)÷( Area size of Vinyl peel and stick floor tiles) = 216 ft²/(1 ft²) = 216

Therefore the minimum number of Vinyl peel and stick floor tiles needed = 216 Tiles.
