Question

Penni is making a mosaico pattern with 2-inch square tiles. The area she wants to cover is 8 inches by 4 inches. How many tiles does she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 Tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of area to be covered =8 inches by 4 inches

• Area to be covered = 8 X 4 =32 Square Inches

Penni intends to use 2-inch square tiles.

• Area of One Tile =2 X 2=4 Square Inches

Therefore, the number of tiles to be used by Penni

=Area to be covered Divided by Area of One Tile

= 32/4

=8

Therefore, Penni needs 8 Tiles.
