Ron is tiling a countertop. He needs a place 54 squarrs tiles in each of the 8 rows to cover the counter. He wantd to randomly place 8 groups of 4 blue tiles and have the rest of the tiles be white. How many white tiles will Ron need?

54 - 8*4 = ?

432

To calculate the number of white tiles Ron will need, we can start by finding the total number of tiles required to cover the countertop. The problem states that Ron needs 54 square tiles in each of the 8 rows, so we can find the total number of tiles by multiplying the number of tiles per row by the number of rows: 54 tiles/row * 8 rows = 432 tiles in total.

Next, we need to determine the number of blue tiles that Ron wants to place randomly in 8 groups of 4. Each group consists of 4 tiles, so we can calculate the total number of blue tiles by multiplying the number of groups by the number of tiles per group: 8 groups * 4 tiles/group = 32 blue tiles.

Finally, to find the number of white tiles, we subtract the number of blue tiles from the total number of tiles: 432 total tiles - 32 blue tiles = 400 white tiles.

Therefore, Ron will need 400 white tiles for his countertop.
