We know that Zoey can tile 1.25 square yards in 20 minutes (which is 1/3 of an hour) so we wanna see how much she can tile in an hour. Multiply 1.25 by 3.
1.25•3= 3.75 or 3 3/4
Owner would lose out on $100
It will take 83 1/3 tiles to fill the wall.
Let x be the entire wall:
3/5x = 50
Divide both sides by 3/5:
x = 50 ÷ 3/5
x = 50/1 ÷ 3/5
x = 50/1 × 5/3
x = 250/3 = 83 1/3
