Question

You want to use square tiles to cover the top of a stepping stone you're making. The top is 24 inches by 20 inches. What is the side measure of the largest-sized square tile you can use to cover the stepping stone without any overlap or cutting?

Answer 1

You would use a 5 by 6 tile because you would find a common factor of 24 and 20 which is 4.

24 divided by 4 is 6
20 divided by 4 is 5

So the tiles used to cover the stone would be 6 by 5 tiles

Hope this helps :)
