Question

A Floor 10m long and 7 m broad it is to be paved with sqare tiles of side 0.5 m. Find the number of tiles required

Answer 1

Answer:

280 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get the area of the floor to calculate how many tiles we need.

So, the formula of area of a square is length*breadth. Also both length and breadth's parameter when get multiplied it becomes that parameter's square.

So, the area of the floor will be 10 m * 7 m = 70 meter square.

Now, we also need area of the square tiles also.So we have to multiply 0.5 m * 0.5 m = 0.25 meter square.

Also, remember if parameters don't match we cannot multiply or divide them.

Now, because we have same parameters we can divide them.

So, divide 70 m by 0.25 m we get 70/0.25 = 280 tiles.(answer)
