The floor of a room with dimensions 16 by 12 is covered with square tiles, each of length 0.32. How many of such tiles will be needed to cover one third of the room?

Answer :

Answer:

625 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Total room floor area = 16 × 12 = 192

So, area of one third room = 192 × (1 ÷ 3)

Area of one third room = 64

Length of each tiles = 0.32

As it is a square tile, width = length, = 0.32

o, total area of each tile = 0.32 × 0.32 = 0.1024

So, number of tiles to cover 64 area of room = 64 ÷ 0.1024 = 625 tiles.

Hence, 625 tiles needed to cover one third of room.
