Answer: 2730 tiles (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, The side length of each side = 25
According to the question the shape of the tile is square.
Thus, the area of one tile = 25 × 25 = 625
Also, we need to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft
Thus, the area of the room in which we have to tile = 102 × 18 = 1836 = 1836×30.48 × 30.48 = 1705699.8144
Thus, the total number of the tiles = the area of the room in which we have to tile / the area of one tile =
Since, we must take 2730 tiles to tile the kitchen.

You can break large numbers into a sum of a multiple(s) of 10 and the last digit of the number. For example, you can break 26 as 20+6, or 157 as 100+50+7.
Then, using the distributive property, you can turn the original multiplication into a sum of easier multiplications. For example, suppose we want to multiply 26 and 37. This is quite challenging to do in your mind, but you can break the numbers as we said above:
All these multiplications are rather easy, because they either involve multiples of 10 of single-digit numbers:
