Question

Vanessa wants to cover her closet floor with tile’s that are 1/3 feet on each side the closet is 3 1/3 feet wide on a 6 foot deep. How many towels with Vanessa need to cover the closet floor

Answer 1

Answer:

180 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Vanessa wants to cover her closet floor with tile’s that are 1/3 feet on each side the closet is 3 1/3 feet wide on a 6 foot deep.

To find the number of tiles needed to cover the closet floor, we will divide area of closet floor by area of each tile as:

$\text{Area of closet floor}=3\frac{1}{3}\text{ feet}\times 6\text{ feet}$

$\text{Area of closet floor}=\frac{10}{3}\text{ feet}\times 6\text{ feet}$

$\text{Area of closet floor}=10\text{ feet}\times 2\text{ feet}$

$\text{Area of closet floor}=20\text{ feet}^2$

$\text{Area of each tile}=\frac{1}{3}\text{ feet}\times \frac{1}{3}\text{ feet}$

$\text{Area of each tile}=\frac{1}{9}\text{ feet}^2$

$\text{Tiles needed to cover the closet floor}=20\text{ feet}^2\div \frac{1}{9}\text{ feet}^2$

Convert into division problem by flipping the fraction:

$\text{Tiles needed to cover the closet floor}=20\times\frac{9}{1}$

$\text{Tiles needed to cover the closet floor}=180$

Therefore, Vanessa needs 180 tiles to cover the closet floor.

Answer 2

She will need 51

3.4 multiple by 6 for the sq feet then multiple by 3.4 which gives  

24.4 sq feet divided by .4 is 51
