Answer 1

Answer:

The number of tiles are covered by the painting are 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The painting is covering up some of the tiles on the wall as shown below:

Here it is given that there are 28 squares tiles on the wall.

Total tiles = Number of tiles covered by the painting - uncovered tiles

28 =  Number of tiles covered by the painting - 16

Number of tiles covered by the painting = 28 - 16

Number of tiles covered by the painting = 12

Hence, the number of tiles are covered by the painting are 12.
