Johnny is buying tiles for his home if he has 20ft of space and their 2 inch long and wide tiles how many tiles will he need to cover the entire floor.
Please help me I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi There!
Your awnser may be 10 tiles but i am not 100% sure.
If It is wrong I am sorry.
Have a great day!
thanks so much it is right you have a good rest of your day
The floor is 20 ft^2
each tile is (1/6 ft)^2 = 1/36 ft^2
So, it will take 20*36 = 720 tiles to cover the floor.
If 10 tiles is the answer, then 20 ft is not the floor area. Especially since area is in ft^2, not just ft.
if each tile is 2 ft^2, then 10 tiles is the answer. But that means the tiles are not 2in x 2in.
To calculate the number of tiles Johnny will need, we need to convert the measurements to a consistent unit. Since the tiles are given in inches, we should convert the 20ft space to inches.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so 20 feet would be 20 * 12 = 240 inches.
Now, let's determine the area of each tile. Since the tiles are square and have a length and width of 2 inches, the area of each tile is calculated by multiplying the length by the width:
Area of each tile = 2 inches * 2 inches = 4 square inches.
To find the total number of tiles needed, we divide the total area of the floor by the area of each tile:
Number of tiles = Total area of the floor / Area of each tile.
The total area of the floor can be found by multiplying the length and width of the floor, which is given as 240 inches.
Total area of the floor = 240 inches * 240 inches = 57,600 square inches.
Now, let's calculate the number of tiles:
Number of tiles = 57,600 square inches / 4 square inches = 14,400 tiles.
Therefore, Johnny will need 14,400 tiles to cover the entire floor.
