How many square tiles with sides 1ft long on each edge would be needed to cover the floor of an 8 by 13ft room?
Work
Multiply 13ft by 8ft?
Yes.
Ms. Sue what is the answer my broder is in 6 grade and he cant figur it out.
To find the area of the room, you need to multiply the length (13ft) by the width (8ft).
13ft * 8ft = 104ft²
The area of the room is 104 square feet.
Since each square tile has sides that are 1ft long, each tile has an area of 1 square foot.
Therefore, the number of square tiles needed to cover the floor is equal to the area of the room.
So, you would need 104 square tiles to cover the floor.
To find out how many square tiles are needed to cover the floor of an 8 by 13ft room, you need to determine the total area of the room and then divide it by the area of each tile.
The total area of the room can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the room. In this case, the length is 13ft and the width is 8ft. So, the total area of the room is 13ft * 8ft = 104 square feet.
Since the sides of the square tiles are 1ft long, the area of each tile is 1ft * 1ft = 1 square foot.
Now, to determine the number of tiles needed, divide the total area of the room by the area of each tile: 104 square feet ÷ 1 square foot = 104 tiles.
Therefore, you would need 104 square tiles with sides 1ft long on each edge to cover the floor of the 8 by 13ft room.
