Answer 1

Qᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴ:-

A room floor having length 6 m and width 2 m has to be covered using square tiles with side 0.4 m. Find the total no.of tiles to be purchased.

Fᴏʀᴍᴜʟᴀs Usᴇᴅ:-

• Area of square = side * side
• Area of rectangle = length * width
• No. of tiles required = (Area of floor)/(Area of tiles)

Aɴsᴡᴇʀ:-

★The floor is rectangular in shape

↠The length of the floor is 6m and width is 2m

↠So it's area is = length * breadth = 6m * 2m = 12m²

★The tiles are square in shape

↠The side of the square is 0.4m

↠So it's area is = side * side = 0.4 * 0.4m² = 0.16m²

★No. of tiles required = (Area of floor)/(Area of tiles)

↠12m²/0.16m²

↠(12 * 100)/16

↠1200/16

↠75

Aɴsᴡᴇʀ = 75 tiles.

Answer 2

Given : A room floor having length 6 m and width 2 m has to be covered using square tiles with side 0.4 m.

　

To find : What is the total no of tiles to be purchased.

　

Formula :

★ Total number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of single tile.

　

Calculations :

→ Area of floor = 6 (2)

→ Area of floor = 12 m²

　

→ Area of single floor = 0.4²

→ Area of single floor = (0.4 × 0.4)

→ Area of single floor = 0.16 m²

　

→ Total number of tiles = 12/0.16

→ Total number of tiles = 75 tiles

　

Therefore, 75 tiles is the total number of tiles to be purchased.
