1/3 foot on each side, closet is 3 1/3 feet wide and 6 feet deep?. How many tiles will I need
What is 1/3 foot on each side?
How high is this closet?
Not aralional number because it is not witten a saratio of integers
To calculate the number of tiles needed, we first need to determine the area of the floor in square feet.
The closet is 3 1/3 feet wide and 6 feet deep. To find the area, we multiply these two dimensions:
Area = Width × Depth
Let's convert the mixed number 3 1/3 to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). The result is 10/3.
Therefore, the area of the closet is:
Area = 10/3 feet × 6 feet
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
Area = (10/3) × 6
This can be simplified by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately:
Area = (10 × 6) / (3 × 1)
Area = 60/3
Area = 20 square feet
Now that we know the area of the closet floor is 20 square feet, we can find out how many tiles are needed.
Assuming each tile covers 1 square foot, the number of tiles needed is equal to the area of the floor:
Number of tiles = Area of floor
So in this case:
Number of tiles = 20 tiles
Therefore, you will need 20 tiles to cover the floor of the 3 1/3 feet wide and 6 feet deep closet.
