MRS. M IS GOING TO PUT DOWN TILES ON HER KITCHEN FLOOR. SHE PLANS TO USE A PATTERN WHERE THERE WILL BE 3 SQUARE TILES FOR EVERY 1 TRIANGULAR TILE. IF SHE USES A TOTAL OF 900 TILES, HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE IN TEH SHAPE OF A SQUARE?
ms. sue your are a good teacher thank you for your support
i love your hard work
i hate your work i say thiss because i hate shooooollllleeee😡
you should get a f for falior
To solve this problem, we need to consider the ratio between square tiles and triangular tiles in the pattern. Since we know that there are 3 square tiles for every 1 triangular tile, the total number of tiles can be expressed as 3x + x, where x is the number of triangular tiles.
Let's assume that the number of triangular tiles is x. According to the ratio, the number of square tiles would be 3x.
The total number of tiles is given as 900. So we can set up an equation:
3x + x = 900
Combining like terms, we get:
4x = 900
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 900 / 4
x = 225
Therefore, the number of triangular tiles (x) is 225.
To find the number of square tiles, we can substitute the value of x back into the equation:
3x = 3 * 225
3x = 675
Therefore, Mrs. M will use 675 square tiles for her kitchen floor.
Cross multiply and solve for x.
3/4 = x/900
