Answer:
245 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
1 meter = 100 cm
Area of bathroom = 3.5m x 2.8m = 350x280 = 9800 cm²
Area of each tile = 20cm x 20cm = 400 cm²
Total number of tiles required = 9800/400 = 245
<u>Note</u>
Strictly speaking we have to find out how many tiles can be fitted in the length and breadth of the bathroom. Since the bathroom is 350 cm wide, we can fit 350/20cm = 17.5 tiles. However, there is no concept of 1/2 tile so the question has an ambiguity. along the width, we can fit 280/10 = 14 tiles
17.5 x 14 = 245 but if the question is reworded to how many tiles do we need to purchase to floor the bathroom it would be 18 x 14 = 252
For #8, it's approximately 2.5
i think it might be around 440,112
To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.
The first equation is 2x+5y=33
The second equation is 8x+3y=30
Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.
So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.
That gives you -8x-20y= -132
Then you set up the two equations and add them together.
(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)
That gives you -17y = -102
So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5
