Question

Leroy wants to tile the floor in his kitchen. The floor is 10 feet by 12 feet. Each tile is 6 by 8 inches. How many tiles will he need to finish the job?

a. 124 tiles
b. 360 tiles
c. 412 tiles
d. 514 tiles

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Convert everything to inches first

The floor is 120 inches by 144 inches

The floor can be covered with (120/6) * (144/8) tiles

(120/6) * (144/8) = 20*18=360 tiles, hence b.
