Answer: 50 tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to find the perimeter. 20 x 2 = 40, and 30 x 2 = 60. 60+40=100, so the perimeter is 100 feet.
The next step is to find out how many tiles can fit on the 100 foot perimeter. To do this, divide 100 by 2, because the tiles are 2 feet. You get 50, so 50 is your answer.
