Answer 1

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 inches in a foot.

Therefore in 8 feet there are 96 inches

Therefore the square floor is 96 * 96.

Therefore the area of the square floor is 9216 inches squared.

Each tile is 8 inches by 8 inches meaning it has an area of 64 inches squared.

9216 / 64 = 144.

Therefore 144 tiles are needed to tile the floor

Since each tile is 50 cents, 144 * 0.5 = 72

Therefore it costs 72 dollars to tile the floor.
