Mr.silverman is tiling his rectangular kitchen floor. The dimensions of the floor are 12 2/3 ft by 10 1/8 ft.The tile he wants costs $1.80 per square foot. About how much will he have to pay for tile?

12 2/3 * 10 1/8

(38/3) * (81/8) = 3078/24 = 128.25 feet

Multiply: 128.25 * 1.8 = ?

230.85

To find out how much Mr. Silverman will have to pay for the tile, we need to calculate the area of the kitchen floor and then multiply it by the price per square foot.

First, let's convert the dimensions of the floor to decimal form so that it's easier to work with:

Length: 12 2/3 ft = 12 + 2/3 ft = 38/3 ft ≈ 12.67 ft
Width: 10 1/8 ft = 10 + 1/8 ft = 81/8 ft ≈ 10.13 ft

Next, we can calculate the area of the floor:

Area = Length × Width
Area = 12.67 ft × 10.13 ft ≈ 128.07 ft²

Now, we can calculate the total cost of the tile:

Cost = Area × Price per square foot
Cost = 128.07 ft² × $1.80/ft²

To make the calculation easier, we can round the area to the nearest whole number:

Cost ≈ 128 ft² × $1.80/ft²

Finally, we can calculate the total cost:

Cost ≈ 230.4

So, Mr. Silverman will have to pay approximately $230.40 for the tile.
