In the above word problem, If she chooses the 8-inch tiles, she will need a quarter as many tiles as she would with 2-inch tiles, Quarter 8-inch tiles will cover the same area as one 2-inches.
<h3>What is the justification for the above?</h3>
Note that the area of the one 2-inch tiles is given as:
A1 = 4in²
The area of the quarter 8-inch tiles is:
A2 = 1/4 x 8 x 8
A2 = 16inch²
Divide both areas
A2/A1= 16/4
= 4
This implies she'll need four 2-inch tiles to cover the same amount of space as a quarter 8-inch tile.

1. rational 2. irrational 3. irrational 4. rational
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, you want to find the whole number in square root form
1 = √1
2 = √4
3 = √9
4 = √16
5 = √25
You want to find which to numbers √7 is in between
7 is between 4 and 9 so the √7 is in between √4 and √9 which means that √7 is between 2 and 3
The second one is your answer
