Ram wants to cover the floor of a room 5meter wide & 8meter long by squared tiles. If each square tile is of side 0.5 meter, then find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of the room.
The room measures 5 m by 8 m, so we need to multiply them to find the total area of the floor to be covered
5 x 8 = 40 m squared
Now the square tile has a side of 0.5 m. All sides on a square are equal. We need to find the area of the square so:
0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 m squared
Now to find the no. of tiles requires we just divide the floor's area by the tile's area
40 divided by 0.25 = 160
Therefore we need 160 tiles to cover the floor.
To find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of the room, we need to determine the total area of the room and then divide it by the area of each tile.
The area of the room can be found by multiplying its length by its width:
Area of the room = Length * Width = 8 meters * 5 meters = 40 square meters
The area of each tile is given as the length of one side squared:
Area of each tile = 0.5 meters * 0.5 meters = 0.25 square meters
Now, to find the number of tiles required, we divide the total area of the room by the area of each tile:
Number of tiles required = Area of the room / Area of each tile = 40 square meters / 0.25 square meters = 160 tiles.
Therefore, Ram will require 160 tiles to cover the floor of the room.
