Mr.Jones wants to put tiles on the floor by the front door of his house. He wants to use 3 different colors of tiles in his design. one half of the tiles to be blue, one fourth of the tiles to be gray, and one fourth of the tiles to be red.
I need to use a grid and label each tile.
I don't understand how to solve this problem.
Since you don't say how big this area is, let's assume it's 6 feet by 6 feet. Draw that area on your grid -- using either graph paper or a scale of 1 inch = 1 foot.
Do you see how he could divide these tiles into four sections?

To solve this problem, you can use a grid to visually represent the floor area by the front door of Mr. Jones' house. Here's how you can label each tile in the grid:
1. Start with a grid that is large enough to accommodate the desired number of tiles. For example, if Mr. Jones wants to use 12 tiles, you can create a 4x3 grid.
2. Divide the grid into equal parts based on the proportions mentioned in the problem. Since one half of the tiles should be blue, you can label half of the grid cells as "B" for blue.
- If you have a 4x3 grid, you can label 6 cells as "B" because half of 12 is 6.
3. After labeling the blue tiles, move on to labeling the gray and red tiles. Since one fourth of the tiles should be gray and one fourth should be red, you can divide the remaining cells equally between these colors.
- If you have 6 remaining cells, you can label 3 cells as "G" for gray and 3 cells as "R" for red.
4. Once you have labeled all the tiles, your grid should represent Mr. Jones' desired tile design.
Here's an example of how the grid might look with the labels:
B B G
B R G
B B R
R G G
In this example, there are 12 tiles in total. Six of them are blue (B), three are gray (G), and three are red (R).
