The number of tiles it would take for Barry to be able to cover the entire hallway floor is 1, 440 tiles

<h3>How to find the number of tiles?</h3>

The first thing to do is the find the area of the rectangular hallway to know the area that needs to be covered:

Area = Length x Width

Area = 24 x 15

= 360 feet²

The dimensions of the tiles in feet is:
= 6 / 12 inches per feet

= 1/2 feet

The area of the tiles in feet is:
= 1/2 x 1/2

= 1/4 feet ²

The number of tiles needed is:

= Area of hallway / Area of tiles

= 360 / (1 / 4)

= 1, 440 tiles
