Question

Bob wants to cover the floor of a room 6 m long and 4 m wide by squared tiles. If
each square tile is of side 0.5 m, find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of
the room.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of room=length * breadth

=3*4

=12

Area of one tile =0.5*0.5

=0.25

number of tiles is given by the formula,

number=area of room/area of one tile

So,

Number=

0.25

12

=48

Thus 48 tiles will be used to cover an entire floor
