Natasha is setting tiles along the baseboard in her bathroom. one side of the bathroom is 18 3/4 feet. each tile is 1 1/2 feet long. how many tiles does she need for this section.
multiply 18 3/4 x 2 and after that answer multiply 11/2 by your answer
Answer:
Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of the bathroom = \(18\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}~feet = \displaystyle\frac{75}{4}~feet\)
Length of one tile = \(1\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}~feet = \displaystyle\frac{3}{2}~feet\)
Number of tiles required to cover this section =
Formula:
\(\text{Number of tiles } = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of bathroom}}{\text{Length of tile}}\)
\(= \displaystyle\frac{\frac{75}{4}}{\frac{3}{2}} = \displaystyle\frac{75\times 2}{3\times 2} = 25\)
Thus, Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.
