Question

Natasha is setting tiles along the baseboard in her bathroom. one side of the bathroom is 18 3/4 feet. each tile is 1 1/2 feet long. how many tiles does she need for this section.

Answer 1

multiply 18 3/4 x 2 and after that answer multiply 11/2  by your answer

Answer 2

Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the bathroom =
`18\displaystyle(3)/(4)~feet = \displaystyle(75)/(4)~feet`

Length of one tile =
`1\displaystyle(1)/(2)~feet = \displaystyle(3)/(2)~feet`

Number of tiles required to cover this section =

Formula:

`\text{Number of tiles } = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of bathroom}}{\text{Length of tile}}`

`= \displaystyle((75)/(4))/((3)/(2)) = \displaystyle(75* 2)/(3* 2) = 25`

Thus, Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.
