Question

A builder needs to tile a 7ft by 8ft room with the 1 fr square tiles. How many tiles will she need?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$no \: of \: tiles = \frac{area \: of \: room}{area \: of \: one \: tile} \\ \\ = \frac{7 \times 8}{1 \times 1} \\ \\ = \frac{56}{1} \\ \\ = 56$

Thus, she will need 56 tiles.

Answer 2

Answer:

56 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the room = 7 x 8 = 56 $ft^{2}$

To Find the tiles, divide the area of the room with the area of the tiles.

So, $\frac{56}{1}$ = 56 tiles
