Mary covered her floor with 10 tiles. the floor measures 6 feet long by 5 feet wide. the tiles are each 3 feet long and w feet wide.


My answer is 6*5=w
is my answer correct?

ten tiles in 30 square feet.

so the area of each of the 10 tiles must be 3 ft^2
3*w=3
w=1ft

Mary put new tiles on her kitchen floor. The floor measures 6 feet long by 5 feet wide. She uses 10 tiles to cover the entire floor. Each tile was 3 feet long. Write an equation using the variable X to model this situation. What does X represent in the equation?

6 x 5 = w

6 x 5 = W or 10 x 3 = W

10W*3=30

6 x 5 + W or 10 x 3 + W

3+w=10
