Question

A designer makes a model of a patio using 1/2 inch square tiles each 1/2 inch square tiles = 4 square feet what area is represented by the 8 x 6 model

Answer 1

`192ft^2`

Explanation:

The model of a patio was made by

using 1/2 inch square title=4 square feet.

area represented by the 8 *6 model can be calculated as follows;

FIRSTLY, the number of tiles in the 8 *6 model can be calculated by multiplying it i.e

8 *6 model =
`48 tiles`

Hence there are 48 tiles in 8 *6 model

It was given that 1/2 inch square title=4

square feet.

So to calculate the total Area occupied by the 48 tiles

`Area=1/2×48`

`Area=24inches^2`

If
`1/2inches^2=4ft^2` ( from the question)

Let X represent
`24inches^2`

Then,
`24inches^2=Xft^2`

Cross multiply

`4×24=X×1/2</p><p></p><p>X=4×24×2</p><p></p><p>X=[tex]192ft^2`

`24inches^2=[tex]192ft^2`

Therefore, the area represented by the 8 *6 model is
`192ft^2`
