Question

There are 100 tiles that were purchased to raise money for a new playground. The tiles will be laid along a walkway. Each tile is 4.75 inches wide. If the tiles are going to all be lined next to each other, how many inches long will they cover along the walkway?

(I think it's 475)

Answer 1

475 inches

Explanation:

You are right

Step one:

we are told that the total number of tiles is 100 in number

since each tile has a lenght of 4.75 inches each

a way to this is to add 4.75+4.75+4.75+........................... in a hundred places to find the lenght.

Step two:

Another way is to multiply 4.75 by 100 which is

=4.75*100= 475 in

Hence the tile will cover 475 inches along the way
