Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 10 in. each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 20ft. by 16ft. _____tiles
10/12 * 10/12 = 5/6 * 5/6 = 25/36 sq ft
(20 * 16)/(25/36) =460.8
You could covert tile area into sq ft.
10/12 * 10/12 = 5/6 * 5/6 = 25/36 sq ft
(20 * 16)/(25/36) = ?
To calculate the number of vinyl tiles needed, we need to convert the measurements to a consistent unit. Let's convert the dimensions of the kitchen from feet to inches:
20 ft = 20 * 12 in = 240 in
16 ft = 16 * 12 in = 192 in
Next, we can calculate the area of the kitchen by multiplying the length and width:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 240 in * 192 in
Area = 46,080 in²
Since each vinyl tile measures 10 in. on each side, we can divide the total area of the kitchen by the area of a single tile to find the number of tiles:
Number of tiles = Total area / Area of a single tile
Number of tiles = 46,080 in² / (10 in * 10 in)
Number of tiles = 46,080 in² / 100 in²
Number of tiles = 460.8 tiles
Therefore, you would need approximately 460.8 vinyl tiles to tile the kitchen. Since we cannot have fractional tiles, we can round up to the nearest whole number, so you would need approximately 461 tiles.
To find the number of vinyl tiles needed to tile a kitchen, we first need to convert the measurements to a consistent unit.
Given:
Vinyl tile side length: 10 inches
Kitchen dimensions: 20ft. by 16ft.
1. Convert the kitchen dimensions to inches:
20ft. = 20ft. * 12in./ft. = 240in.
16ft. = 16ft. * 12in./ft. = 192in.
Now that we know the dimensions in inches, we can calculate the number of tiles.
2. Calculate the area of each tile:
Area of a tile = side length * side length = 10in. * 10in. = 100 sq. in.
3. Calculate the total area of the kitchen:
Total area = Length * Width = 240in. * 192in. = 46,080 sq. in.
4. Determine the number of tiles needed:
Number of tiles = Total area / Area of each tile
Number of tiles = 46,080 sq. in. / 100 sq. in.
Now, divide the total area of the kitchen by the area of each tile:
Number of tiles = 460.8
Since we cannot have fractional tiles, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you would need 461 vinyl tiles to tile the kitchen.
