Question

A verandah 50 m long and 12m broad is to be paved with tiles each measuring 6dm by 5dm. Find the number of tiles needed?

(dm stands for decametre)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of verandah = 50*12 =600m²

Area of each tile = 6*5 = 30dm²

Since 100dm²=1m²

30dm²=30/100 = 0.3m²

Now,

No. Of tiles*area of one tile = area of the verandah

Therefore,

X*0.3=600

X=2000 tiles.

Answer 2

Answer:2000tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of verandah = 50m

Width of verandah = 12m

Area of verandah = 600 sq m

Length of tile = 6dm = 0.6m

Width of tile = 5 dm = 0.5 m

Area of tile = 0.3 sq m

No. Of tiles required = 600÷ 0.3= 2000tiles
