How many tiles measuring 10cm x 10cm will you need to cover a bathroom floor that measures 3m x 5m?
300/10 = 30
500/10 = 50
30 * 50 = 1,500 tiles
how do you get 300 and 500?
1 m = 100 cm
3 m = 300 cm
Each tile is 10 cm on each side
ohh i see.... thanks :)
You're welcome. :-)
To find out how many tiles measuring 10cm x 10cm you will need to cover the bathroom floor, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Convert the dimensions of the bathroom floor from meters to centimeters, since the tile measurements are given in centimeters.
Length of the floor = 3m x 100cm/m = 300cm
Width of the floor = 5m x 100cm/m = 500cm
2. Calculate the area of the bathroom floor:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 300cm x 500cm = 150,000cm²
3. Determine the area covered by a single tile:
Area of a single tile = Length x Width
Area of a single tile = 10cm x 10cm = 100cm²
4. Divide the total area of the bathroom floor by the area of a single tile to find out how many tiles will be needed:
Number of tiles = Total area of the bathroom floor / Area of a single tile
Number of tiles = 150,000cm² / 100cm² = 1,500 tiles
So, you will need 1,500 tiles measuring 10cm x 10cm to cover the bathroom floor.
