A. 2
B. 18
C. 21
D. 63

Answer 1

1 Foot = 12 Inches

12 Feet * 12 Inches = 144 Inches.

1 Foot = 12 Inches
12 Feet * 12 Inches = 144 Inches. So:

We Now Need To Figure Out How Many Times 8 Inches Goes Into 144 Inches.
144/8 = 18

So, The Answer Is B, You Would Need To Lay 18 Tiles To Cover The Path.
