Question

The length of a room is 9 metres. Its floor is tiled by using 96 square tiles of 0.75 m x 0.75 m each. What is the breadth of the room?

Answer 1

The breadth of the room is 6 metres

Answer 2

Explanation:

Side of a tile= a = 0.75 m

Area of one square tile = a² = (0.75)² = 0.5625 m²

Area of 96 square tiles = 0.5625 * 96

Area of the room = area of 96 square tiles

length * breadth = 0.5625 * 96

9 * breadth = 0.5625 * 96

breadth =
`(0.5625*96)/(9)\\\\`

breadth = 6 m
