Ron is laying a tile floor in his bathroom using 1foot square tiles. His bathroom is 9 feet by 7 feet. How many tiles does Ron need to complete the job?
9 * 7 = ?
63
To find out how many tiles Ron needs to complete the job, we need to calculate the total area of the bathroom and divide it by the area of each tile.
First, let's calculate the area of the bathroom:
Area = length × width
Area = 9 feet × 7 feet
Area = 63 square feet
Next, let's calculate the area of each tile:
Area of each tile = 1 foot × 1 foot
Area of each tile = 1 square foot
Now, we can find out how many tiles Ron needs:
Number of tiles = Total area ÷ Area of each tile
Number of tiles = 63 square feet ÷ 1 square foot
Number of tiles = 63
Therefore, Ron needs 63 tiles to complete the job.
