A room measured 6 feet wide and 14 feet long. If they use blue and white tiles that are exactly 1 square foot, how many tiles will they need

A = 6 * 14

A = 84 square feet

To find the number of tiles needed, we can calculate the area of the room and divide it by the area of one tile.

First, let's calculate the area of the room. The room's width is 6 feet, and its length is 14 feet. To find the area, we multiply the width by the length:

Area of the room = width × length
Area of the room = 6 feet × 14 feet

Now, let's calculate the area of one tile. The tiles are 1 square foot in size, which means their area is 1 square foot.

Next, divide the area of the room by the area of one tile to determine the number of tiles required:

Number of tiles = area of the room / area of one tile

Substituting the values we have:

Number of tiles = (6 feet × 14 feet) / 1 square foot

Following the order of operations (multiplication first):

Number of tiles = 84 square feet / 1 square foot

Since the square feet units cancel out, we are left with:

Number of tiles = 84

Therefore, they will need 84 tiles to cover the room.
