Question

Mr. Lawrence used 100 tiles when he put a new floor in the kitchen 34 tiles are squares and 16 tiles are rectangles write the total amount of tiles that are squares and rectangles as a decimal and fraction

Answer 1

Fraction of square tiles  = $(\frac{4}{25}) = 0.16$

Fraction of rectangle tiles  = $(\frac{17}{50}) = 0.34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tiles to be used in the kitchen = 100

The total number of square tiles  = 34

The total number of rectangle tiles  =  16

Now, calculating the total fraction of square tiles:

The fraction of square tiles  = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of square tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}} = \frac{16}{100} = \frac{4}{25}$

Also, solving the fraction, we get $\frac{4}{25} = 0.16$

So, the decimal value of square tiles  = 0.6

Calculating the total fraction of rectangle tiles:

The fraction of rectangle tiles  = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of rectangle tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}} = \frac{34}{100} = \frac{17}{50}$

Also, solving the fraction, we get $\frac{17}{50} = 0.34$

So, the decimal value of rectangle tiles  = 0.34
