Mark and Juanita want to tile their kitchen floor. If the kitchen floor is shaped like a rectangle and measures 11 feet × 14 feet, how many square tiles will they need to cover the floor is each square tile measures 4 inches × 4 inches?

Convert feet to inches, then divide.

(11*12*14*12)/(4*4) = ?

Let us say that the tile is 4x4

it is best to convert the units of the area from "feet" to "inches" to align it with the unit of the tiles (because that is what's being asked))

The conversion will go like this:
since 1 feet is equivalent to 12 inches
we must multiply

11ft x 12 = 132 inches
14ft x 12 = 168 inches

we will now divide it by the size of the tile

132 inches/4 inches = 33
168 inches/4 inches = 42

Now multiply the two values

33 x 42 = 1386 tiles that has the size of 4 square inches each.

Answer: 1386 tiles

To find out how many square tiles Mark and Juanita will need to cover their kitchen floor, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the dimensions of the kitchen floor and the square tiles into consistent units. Let's convert everything to square inches for ease of calculation.

- The kitchen floor measures 11 feet × 14 feet. We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so the dimensions in inches will be:
11 feet × 12 inches per foot = 132 inches
14 feet × 12 inches per foot = 168 inches

- Each square tile measures 4 inches × 4 inches.

Step 2: Calculate the total area of the kitchen floor in square inches. The total area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length × width.
Area of the kitchen floor = 132 inches × 168 inches = 22176 square inches

Step 3: Calculate the area of a single square tile. Since each side of the tile measures 4 inches, the area can be calculated as: Area = side × side = 4 inches × 4 inches = 16 square inches.

Step 4: Divide the total area of the kitchen floor by the area of a single square tile to find the number of tiles needed.
Number of tiles = Area of the kitchen floor / Area of a single tile
Number of tiles = 22176 square inches / 16 square inches = 1386 tiles (rounded up to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, Mark and Juanita will need approximately 1386 square tiles to cover their kitchen floor.
