Hi, I have not been posting for a while because I have been very busy and Algebra is consuming most of my free time.
I am posting this problem to see what you think of my approach or if there is a better one or quick calculation.
A bathroom floor measures 8ft by 6ft and is to be covered by ceramic tiles, each tile measures 8 inches by 8 inches. Find the number of tiles needed to cover the bathroom.
I am gonna convert to a single unit. i have chosen inches
so 1ft=12 in
so the dimension of the bathroom floor are now
96 in by 72 in
i have been told that each tile measures 8 in by 8 in so
96 in /8in=12 in^2
72 in/ 8 in= 9^2
12in^2 * 9^2=180 tiles needed to tile the bathroom floor.
