Jay is going to cover his kitchen floor with tiles that are each 1 square foot. The floor is shape in a rectangle that is 4 feet wide and 9 feet long. How many tiles are needed to cover the floor.

A = LW

A = 4 * 9

A = 36 square feet

Thanks Mrs. Sue

At the playground, the new sandbox was 9 meters wide and 3 meters long. What is the area of the new sandbox.

You're welcome, Mona.

What do you think the area of the sandbox is?

27

Yes. 27 square meters

Thank U so much. I understand now.

You're very welcome. :-)

To find the number of tiles needed to cover the floor, we need to find the total area of the floor and divide it by the area of each tile.

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the floor is 4 feet wide and 9 feet long, so the area of the floor is 4 * 9 = 36 square feet.

Since each tile has an area of 1 square foot, we can divide the total area of the floor by the area of each tile to find the number of tiles needed. In this case, 36 / 1 = 36.

Therefore, Jay will need 36 tiles to cover his kitchen floor.
