Question

There is a large room of size 24ft x 32ft. the floor of the room is to be paved with square tiles of the same dimension. what is the minimum number of tiles required?

Answer 1

The total area to be tiled is 24 x 32 feet is 768 square feet. If we use a 2' x 2' square tile then 768/4= 192 tiles with all the same dimension. This is the minimum number of tiles that I calculated to give an even number of total tiles ie without a decimal place or a portion of a tile.
