Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?
