Question

Ryan is remodeling his kitchen floor, which is 110 square feet. He used

31.5 tiles in his kitchen. If Ryan wants to remodel his bathroom, which is 28
square feet, approximately how many tiles would he need?

Answer 1

He will need 9 tiles

Explanation:

Step one:

let us highlight the given parameters

Given data

the size of the kitchen floor is 110 ft^2

the size of the bathroom is 28 ft^2

he used 32.5 tiles for the kitchen

and used x tiles for the bathroom

Step two:

if he used 32 tiles for 110 ft^2 kitchen

he will use x tiles for 28 ft^2 bathroom

cross multiplying we have

x= (32*28)/110

x= 896/110

x= 8.145

Approximately he will need 9 tiles
