Question

A kitchen is 10ft long and 8ft wide.if kitchen floor tiles

Answer 1

Answer:

1536 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of kitchen = 10 ft,

Width of the kitchen = 8 ft,

∵ The shape of floor of kitchen must be rectangular,

Thus, the area of the kitchen = 10 × 8 = 80 square ft = 11520 in²

( Since, 1 square feet = 144 square inches )

Now, the length of a tile = 2.5 in and its width = 3 in,

So, the area of each tile = 2.5 × 3 = 7.5 in²,

Hence, the number of tiles needed = $\frac{\text{Area of kitchen}}{\text{Area of each tile}}$

$=\frac{11520}{7.5}$

= 1536
