If the tiles are 2ft wide and the walkway is 2ft wide, then
the walkway is just a string of single tiles.

The walkway is 60ft long, so it needs

                     (60ft) / (2 ft/tile)) = 30 tiles.

They come in boxes of 6, so you need

                      (30 tiles) / (6 tiles/box) = 5 boxes.

Better get one more box, in case you break a few tiles.

Length of the walkway that needs to be tiled = 60 feet
Width of the walkway that needs to be tiled = 2 feet.
Then
Area of the walkway that needs to be tiled = Length * Breadth
                                                                    = 60 * 2 square feet
                                                                    = 120 square feet
Now
Length of the tiles sold by the local store = 2 feet
Width of the tiles sold by the local store = 2 feet
Area covered by the tiles sold by the local store = 2 * 2 feet
                                                                              = 4 square feet
Number of tiles in a box = 6
Then
Total area covered by a box of tile = (6 * 2) square feet
                                                        = 12 square feet
 Then
The number of boxes required by Sean = (120/12)
                                                                = 10
So 10 boxes of tiles are needed by Sean and his father.

An island has some portion submerged in water. Point A on the island is at negative 7 over 3 feet from the surface of the sea. P
sashaice [31]

Answer:

1/6feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point A on the island = -7/3 feet from the sea surface

Point B on the island = -5/2 from the sea surface

The distance between the two points will be Point A - Point B

Distance between the two points = -7/3 - (-5/2)

= -7/3+5/2

Find the LCM

= {2(-7)+3(5)}/6

= -14+15/6

= 1/6

Hence the distance of the two points from the surface of the sea is 1/6feet
