Question

How many tiles (each of dimensions 10
mx 5 m) are needed to cover a
rectangular plot of length 120 m and
breadth 20 m?
28
A
40
B
48
С
D
80​

Answer 1

Answer:

B-48 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of plot =120*20

Area of tile =10*5

No of tiles = toltal area of plot/area of a tile

(120*20)/(10*5)=48

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Dimensions of tiles are 10 m and 5 m respectively.
• Length of a rectangular plot = 120 m
• Breadth of rectangular plot = 20 m

To find:

• Number of tiles needed to cover a rectangular plot.

Tip:

First we will find the area of tiles. After that will find the area of of rectangular plot. Then we will divide the the area of a rectangular plot by the area of tiles to find the number of tiles needed to cover a rectangular plot.

Solution:

• Area of tiles = l × b
• Area of tiles = 10 × 5
• Area of tiles = 50 m²

• Area of rectangular plot = l × b
• Area of rectangular plot = 120 × 20
• Area of rectangular plot = 2400 m²

• Number of tiles needed = Area of rectangular plot/Area of tiles
• Number of tiles needed = 2400/50
• Number of tiles needed = 240/5
• Number of tiles needed = 48

∴ 48 tiles needed to cover a rectangular plot
