Question

How many 2X4 foot tiles are needed for 48 square feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of  (2 X 4 ) foot tiles  needed for 48 square feet is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the small tiles =  2 ft x 4 ft

Area that needed to be covered by tiles = 48 sq feet

Now, Area of 1 tile  = LENGTH X WIDTH

                                 = 2 ft x 4 ft = 8 sq ft

Now, $\textrm{Total number of tiles required to cover the area} = \frac{\textrm{Total Area that needs to be covered}}{\textrm{Area of each tile}}$

= $\frac{48 sqft}{8sqft} = 6$

or, Number of tiles required = 6

Hence, the number of  (2 X 4 ) foot tiles  needed for 48 square feet is 6.
