bob wants to cover the floor of a room 3m wide and 4m long by squared tiles. if each square tile is of side 0.5m,then find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of the room.

the area of the floor is 3*4 = 12 m^2

So, how many of those tiles fit into each square meter?

draw a little picture and the answer will be clear.

To find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of the room, you need to find the area of the room and divide it by the area of each tile.

Given:
Width of the room (w) = 3m
Length of the room (l) = 4m
Side of each tile (s) = 0.5m

First, calculate the area of the room:
Area of the room = length × width

Area of the room = 4m × 3m = 12m²

Next, calculate the area of each tile:
Area of each tile = side × side

Area of each tile = 0.5m × 0.5m = 0.25m²

Finally, divide the area of the room by the area of each tile to find the number of tiles required:
Number of tiles required = Area of the room ÷ Area of each tile

Number of tiles required = 12m² ÷ 0.25m²

Number of tiles required = 48

Therefore, you will need 48 tiles to cover the entire floor of the room.
