Question

How many boxes? for some reason it isn't making since to me

Answer 1

First find the total area of the building.

44ft x 74ft = 3256ft^2

Next, since you have 24 tiles per box, each covering 1ft^2 of space, find the number of boxes you need to supply the minimum number of tiles needed to fill the area.

3256ft^2 ÷ 24 = 135.6 boxes

Since you are finding the minimum number of boxes to completely fill the given area, round up.

Answer = 136 boxes
