Question

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 8 in. each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 24 ft. by 18 ft.

Answer 1

Answer: There are 972 tiles to cover the kitchen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of kitchen be

$24\ ft\ by\ 18\ ft$

Dimension of each tile = 8 inches

We have to find the number of tiles .

So, Number of tiles is given by

$\frac{\text{Area of kitchen}}{\text{ Area of tile }}\\\\=\frac{24\times 12\times 18\times 12}{8\times 8}\\\\=\frac{62208}{64}\\\\=972$

Hence, there are 972 tiles to cover the kitchen.

Answer 2

972. Keep in mind the ratio of square feet to square inches is 144:1 as opposed to 12:1
