Question

Jerry got a summer job working for his uncle's construction company, Iron Hammer Builders. This weekend, they are tiling the perimeter of a customer's pool. Each tile is 0.25 feet long, and the perimeter of the pool is 102 feet.

Let t represent how many tiles will cover the perimeter. Which equation models the problem?

Answer 1

The equation modeling the problem is t = 102 / 0.25.

Explanation: To find the number of tiles that will cover the perimeter of the pool, we need to divide the total length of the perimeter (102 feet) by the length of each tile (0.25 feet). This gives us the number of tiles needed to cover the entire perimeter.
