Question

Carrie needs to determine the number of tiles that will fit in each row along the back of the shower. If the back of the shower measures 6 feet long and each tile is Two-thirds of a foot long, which equation shows how to determine the number of tiles that will fit in each row?

Answer 1

Answer: A6/ 2/3= 9

Explanation:

We know that one tile is 2/3 ft long and we want to cover 6 ft (which is the given measure of the back of the shower).

To know the number of tiles needed, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:

1 tile ...............> 2/3 ft

?? tiles ...........> 6 ft

Number of tiles = (6*1) / (2/3)

Number of tiles = 6 / (2/3)

Number of tiles = 9 tiles

Answer 2

A). 6 ÷ 2/3 = 9
