room size i s 10ft x 15ft. i want to put tile down and the tile size is 3 inches in all sides. How many tiles do I need?
Convert areas into square inches.
144(10*15)/9 = ?
10×12=120÷3=40
15×12=180÷3=60
40×60=2400
Convert feet to inches then divide by size tile
Answer is 2400 tiles needed.
To calculate the number of tiles needed, you first need to convert the room dimensions from feet to inches. Then, you can divide the total area of the room by the area of each tile to determine the quantity needed.
1. Convert the room size from feet to inches:
- Length: 10 ft * 12 in/ft = 120 in
- Width: 15 ft * 12 in/ft = 180 in
2. Calculate the area of each tile:
- Each side is 3 inches, so the tile area is 3 in * 3 in = 9 square inches.
3. Calculate the total area of the room:
- Area = Length * Width = 120 in * 180 in = 21,600 square inches.
4. Divide the total area by the tile area:
- Number of tiles needed = Total area / Tile area = 21,600 sq in / 9 sq in = 2,400 tiles.
Therefore, you will need 2,400 tiles to cover a room size of 10 ft x 15 ft with tiles that are 3 inches on all sides.
To determine the number of tiles needed to cover the floor, you must first calculate the total area of the room and then determine how many tiles can fit within that area.
1. Measure the dimensions of the room: The room size you provided is 10ft x 15ft.
2. Convert the dimensions to inches: Since the tile size is given in inches, convert the room size to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so the dimensions become 120 inches x 180 inches.
3. Calculate the area of the room: Multiply the length and width of the room to find the total area. Therefore, the area of the room is 120 inches x 180 inches = 21,600 square inches.
4. Determine the tile area: The tile size is given as 3 inches x 3 inches. Multiply the tile length by the tile width to find the tile area. The tile area is 3 inches x 3 inches = 9 square inches.
5. Divide the room area by the tile area: Divide the total area of the room by the area of a single tile to determine the number of tiles needed. In this case, 21,600 square inches / 9 square inches = 2,400 tiles.
Therefore, you will need 2,400 tiles to cover the floor of your room.
