Question

The number of square tiles of side 25cm which can be paved on a rectangular floor of 3m × 2m is:

Answer 1

Answer:

area of the square='n'(area of the rectangle)

a^=n(l×b)

25^=n(2×3)

625/6=n

n=104.166

Answer 2

The total number of square tiles = 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The side of square tile (a) = 25 cm

To find, the total number of square tiles = ?

∴ The area of square tile (a) = 25 cm × 25 cm

Also,

The area of rectangular floor =  3 m × 2 m

=  300 cm × 200 cm

∴ The total number of square tiles = $\dfrac{The area of rectangular floor}{The area of square tile}$

$= \dfrac{300 cm \times 200 cm}{ 25 cm \times 25 cm}$

= 12 × 8

= 96

∴ The total number of square tiles = 96

Thus, the total number of square tiles = 96
