Question

HOW MANY SQUARE TILES EACH SIDE OF 0.6 M WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAVE THE FLOOR OF A ROOM WHICH IS 8 M LONG 6 M BROAD?

Answer 1

80
Total number of tiles = (8 * 6) / 0.6

Answer 2

Hi ,

Dimensions of a square tile ,

Side = a = 0.6m

Dimensions of floor ,

Length ( l ) = 8 m

Breadth ( b ) = 6 m

Let the number of tiles required = n

n = area of the floor / area of each tile

n = lb / a²

n = ( 8 × 6 ) / ( 0.6 × 0.6 )

= ( 8 × 6 × 10 × 10 ) / ( 6 × 6 )

= ( 800 ) /6

= 133.3

≈ 134

Required square tiles are =n = 134

I hope this helps you.
