Answer:

No, it's not enough

Explanation:

Given

Tilling Dimension = 4m by 2m

Tile Dimension = 400mm by 400mm

Required

Determine the 45 tiles is enough

First;

The area of the tiling has to be calculated


Area = Length * Breadth


Area = 4m * 2m


Area = 8m^2

Next, determine the area of the tile


Area = Length * Breadth


Area = 400mm * 400mm

Convert measurements to metres


Area = 0.4m* 04m


Area = 0.16\ m^2

Next, multiply the above area result by the number of files


Total = 0.16m^2 * 45


Total = 7.2m^2

Compare 7.2 to 8

Hence, we conclude that the 45 tiles of 400mm by 400 mm dimension is not enough to floor his bathroom
