Question

Marcus is putting new tiles on his kitchen fllor. The kitchen floor is 6.1 feet wide and 9.5 feet long. How many square feet of tile will Marcus need to purchase?

Answer 1

57.95

Explanation:

The area of the floor is (6.1 ft)(9.5 ft) = 57.95 ft². This will be the minimum that Marcus will want to purchase.

If we assume that tiles come in pieces 1 ft square, then Marcus will need a minimum of 58 square feet.

If Marcus does not want to piece together any tiles at the edges, he will want to purchase 10×7 = 70 square feet of tile.
