Answer:

96 square tiles are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, the first thing we need to do is calculate the total area covered by the rectangular wall.

Mathematically, the area of the rectangle = 16 * 24 = 384 ft^2

The next thing we need to do is calculate the area of the square tiles = L^2 = 2^2 = 4 ft^2

the number of square tiles needed = Area of rectangular wall/Area of square tiles = 384/4 = 96

Problem 13

10p+10q factors to 10(p+q). If we apply the distributive property, we can distribute the 10 to each term inside (p and q) to get

10(p+q) = (10 times p)+(10 times q) = 10*p + 10*q = 10p+10q

so we get the original expression again. Here 10 is the GCF of the two terms.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Plug p = 1 and q = 2 into the factored form

10*(p+q) = 10*(1+2) = 10*(3) = 30

As a check, let's plug those p,q values into the original expression

10*p+10*q = 10*1+10*2 = 10+20 = 30

We get the same output of 30
