Maury plans to cover his floor with 1 square foot tiles. The dimensions are 8ft by 9 ft. How many times will Maury need?

8 * 9 = ?

72

To find the number of tiles Maury needs to cover his floor, we need to calculate the total area of the floor and divide it by the area of one tile.

First, let's calculate the total area of the floor:
Area = length x width = 8 ft x 9 ft = 72 square feet.

Next, let's calculate the area of one tile:
Area of one tile = 1 square foot.

Finally, we can divide the total area of the floor by the area of one tile:
Number of tiles needed = Total area of the floor / Area of one tile
= 72 square feet / 1 square foot
= 72.

So, Maury would need 72 tiles to cover his floor.
