Question

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 8 in. each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 24 ft. by 18 ft.

Answer 1

972. Keep in mind the ratio of square feet to square inches is 144:1 as opposed to 12:1

Answer 2

Answer: There are 972 tiles to cover the kitchen.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of kitchen be

`24\ ft\ by\ 18\ ft`

Dimension of each tile = 8 inches

We have to find the number of tiles .

So, Number of tiles is given by

`\frac{\text{Area of kitchen}}{\text{ Area of tile }}\\\\=(24* 12* 18* 12)/(8* 8)\\\\=(62208)/(64)\\\\=972`

Hence, there are 972 tiles to cover the kitchen.
