Question

Leisha is retiling a hallway in her house with linoleum squares. The area she is tiling measures 60 inches by 132 inches. Each square measures 8.0 inches by 8.0 inches. How many whole tiles should Leisha buy

Answer 1

124

Explanation:

Multiply 60 by 132. You get 7920.

Now multiply 8 by 8. You get 64.

Divide 7920 by 64. You get 123.75.

SInce the question asks for whole tiles we can't buy 0.75 of a tile, so she could just get one more to fill in that 0.75. That would be 124.
