Ms. Jacobsen is tilling her basement floor. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 240 inches and a width of 180 inches. Ms. Jacobson uses tiles that are 1 square foot in size. How many tiles does Ms.Jacobsen need to cover her basement floor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total number of tile used = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of floor = 240 inches = 240 / 12 = 20 ft

Width of floor = 180 inches = 180 / 12 = 15 ft

Size of each tile =  1 square foot

Find:

Total number of tile used

Computation:

Area of floor = 20 x 15

Area of floor = 300 square foot

Total number of tile used = Area of floor / Size of each tile

Total number of tile used = 300 / 1

Total number of tile used = 300
