how many tiles of dimensions 24 cm ×15 cm will be required to cover a floor 18m long and 12 m wide?
Answers
Answer:
6000
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of tile and that of the floor also
area of tile=24×15
=360 cm²
area of floor=1800×1200 cm²
no. of tiles required
=area of floor/area of tiles
=1200×1800/360
=1200×5
=6000
6000 tiles are required to cover the floor
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
Dimensions of tile-
• 24 cm
• 15 cm
Dimensions of floor-
• 18 m = 1800 cm
• 12 m = 1200 cm
To find :-
The number of tiles required to cover the floor.
Solution:-
We are using the formula for area of rectangle as the floor is rectangular in shape (Since, dimensions of the floor are unequal)
Area of floor = Length×Breadth
= (1800 × 1200) cm²
= 2160000 cm²
Since, the tile is also rectangular.
Since, the tile is also rectangular.Area of the tile = length × breadth
= (24 × 15) cm²
= 360 cm²
Now,
Number of tiles required to cover the floor = Area of floor/Area of a tile
= 2160000 cm²/ 360 cm²
= 6000 tiles.
Hence, 6000 tiles of dimension (24×15) cm² are required to cover the floor of dimension (1200×1800) cm²
