Angela wants to retile the backsplash in the kitchen using 4in. by 4in. tiles. What is the area of each tole in square feet?

4" = 1 /3 ft

4" x 4" = (1/3 ft)(1/3 ft) = 1/9 ft^2

(1/3) * (1/3) = 1/9 square foot

To find the area of a 4 inch by 4 inch tile, you need to convert the measurements to feet.

1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so the tile dimensions in feet would be 4/12 feet by 4/12 feet.

Simplifying, this becomes 1/3 feet by 1/3 feet.

To find the area, you multiply the length by the width.

1/3 feet multiplied by 1/3 feet equals 1/9 square feet.

Therefore, each 4 inch by 4 inch tile has an area of 1/9 square feet.

To find the area of each tile in square feet, we first need to convert the measurements from inches to feet.

1 inch = 1/12 feet

So, the size of each tile in feet is:

Length = 4 inches * (1/12 feet/inch) = 4/12 feet = 1/3 feet
Width = 4 inches * (1/12 feet/inch) = 4/12 feet = 1/3 feet

Now, to find the area of the tile, we multiply the length by the width:

Area = Length * Width = (1/3 feet) * (1/3 feet) = 1/9 square feet

Therefore, the area of each tile is 1/9 square feet.
