Question

Jared is redoing his bathroom floor with tiles measuring 6 in. by 14 in. The floor has an area of 8,900 in. What is the least number of tiles he will need?

Answer 1

Answer:

I am assuming this is from Go Math grade level 6 book from pg TX22

The answer is B. 105.95

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply 6 in. by 14 in.

6 x 14 = 84

Than you must divide 8,900 in. by the total you got from multiplying 6 by 14

8900 divided by 84 is 105.95...

since the only answer choice closes to that is B, I chose it

Hope this help! :3

Answer 2

Firstly we need to find an area of a single tile:

6 * 14 = 84 square inches

Now we just need to find out how many tiles of 84 square inches will fit in an area of 8900 square inches:

8900 ÷ 84 = 105,952380952381

Assuming we can't cut a tile into pieces, we may round the result to 106.

Answer: The least number of tiles Jared will need is 106.
