Question

Sean is helping his dad build a tiled walkway in their backyard. The walkway will be 60 feet long and 2 feet wide. The local hardware store sells tiles which are 2 by 2 feet and come in boxes of 6.

How many boxes of tiles do they need?

Answer 1

First draw a rectangle. Label the length and the width. Then multiply 60 and 2. Once finished take a ruler and start drawing the tiles in the rectangle. If there are 12 tiles then you will need two boxes. If there are six tiles, then you will need one box. It's simple, just focus! Good luck.
