Question

A square tile has a width of 1/4 foot. How many tiles will fit end-to-end along a

4-foot wall?
16 tiles
8 tiles
4 tiles
1 tile

Answer 1

16 tiles

Explanation:

Divide 4 by 1/4 to get your answer.

This is the same as multiplying 4 by the inverse of 1/4 (which is 4/1 a.k.a 4)

4 * 4 = 16

16 tiles will fit end-to-end along a 4-foot wall.
