To determine the number of 12 inch by 12 inch tiles needed to cover a room, you need to calculate the area of the room and then divide it by the area of one tile.
First, let's convert the room dimensions from feet to inches:
Length of the room = 12 ft * 12 in/ft = 144 inches
Width of the room = 16 ft * 12 in/ft = 192 inches
Next, calculate the area of the room by multiplying the length and width:
Area of the room = Length * Width = 144 inches * 192 inches = 27,648 square inches
Now, let's find the area of one tile:
Area of one tile = Length * Width = 12 inches * 12 inches = 144 square inches
To determine the number of tiles needed, divide the area of the room by the area of one tile:
Number of tiles needed = Area of the room / Area of one tile = 27,648 square inches / 144 square inches = 192 tiles
Therefore, you would need 192 12 inch by 12 inch tiles to cover the room.
