Question

A room measures 20½ feet by 16¾ feet. The floor of this room has to be covered with tiles. All along the floor sides against the walls designer tiles measuring ½ feet by ¼ feet are used. If these tiles cost 62 rupees each, find the total cost of tiling the border of the room by the designer tiles.

Answer 1

Answer:

rs 170314

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of floor =  (41/2) * (67/4)   = 2747/8 ft²

Area of a tile = (1/2)(1/4) = 1/8  ft²

Number of tiles required = Area of floor / Area of a tile

= (2747/8)/(1/8)

= 2747

Cost of 1 tile = rs 62

Cost of 2747 = 2747 * 62 =  rs 170314

Total cost of tiling the border of the room by the designer tiles. = rs 170314
