Devin's bathroom measures 6 feet by 10 feet. He wants to cover the floor with square tiles. The sides of the tiles are 6 inches. How many tiles will Devin need?
Ab = 72in * 120in = 8640in^2 = Area of
bathroom.
At = 6in * 6in = 36in^2 Area of each tile.
T = 8640IN^2 / 36IN^2 = 240 Tiles.
To find the number of tiles Devin will need, we need to determine the area of his bathroom floor and then calculate how many tiles will fit into that area.
First, let's convert the dimensions of Devin's bathroom from feet to inches since the size of the tiles is given in inches.
The length of Devin's bathroom in inches = 6 feet * 12 inches/foot = 72 inches
The width of Devin's bathroom in inches = 10 feet * 12 inches/foot = 120 inches
Next, we need to calculate the area of Devin's bathroom floor.
Area = length * width = 72 inches * 120 inches = 8640 square inches
Now we need to determine how many square tiles will fit into the area calculated.
The sides of each tile are 6 inches, so the area of each tile is 6 inches * 6 inches = 36 square inches.
To find the number of tiles Devin will need, we can divide the total area of the bathroom floor by the area of each tile.
Number of tiles = Area of bathroom floor / Area of each tile = 8640 square inches / 36 square inches/tile = 240 tiles
Therefore, Devin will need 240 tiles to cover his bathroom floor.
