Question

A room measures 250 cm by 175 cm. Calculate the side of the largest square tile that can be used to tile the floor without cutting.

Answer 1

Answer:

The greatest common denominator is 25.

25 * 10 = 250

25 * 7 = 175

your biggest tile would be 25 * 25 = 625 square units.

you would need 10 * 7 = 70 of them.

total square units is 250 * 175 = 43750

70 * 625 = 43750.

Answer 2

Answer:25 * 10 = 250

25 * 7 = 175

your biggest tile would be 25 * 25 = 625 square units.

you would need 10 * 7 = 70 of them.

 

total square units is 250 * 175 = 43750

70 * 625 = 43750.

that should do it
