Question

Bob has 37 tiles with dimensions of 1 foot by 1 foot. He wants to tile a closet that is 7bfeet long and 5 feet wide. Does he have enough tiles? If so, how many more will be left over?

Answer 1

7x5=35 He wil have enough. Plus since 37-35=2 he will have 2 left over.

Answer 2

First find the area of the closet he wants to tile :
7×5=35

we already know he has 37 tiles, so now we can subtract to find how many tiles will be left over :
37-35= 2 tiles left over



hope this helps
