a rectangular bathroom measures 9.5 feet by 12 feet. the floor is covered by rectangular tiles measuring 1.5 inches by 2 inches. how many tiles are there on the bathroom floor.
9.5 ft = 114 inches
114 / 1.5 = 76 tiles
12 ft = 144 inches
144/2 = 72 tiles
72 * 76 = ________ tiles
Ah, the magical world of tiles! Let's crunch some numbers, shall we? First, let's convert the dimensions of the bathroom into inches.
The bathroom measures 9.5 feet by 12 feet, and since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, we have 9.5 x 12 = 114 inches by 144 inches.
Now, let's focus on the tiles. The tiles are 1.5 inches by 2 inches. To find out how many tiles fit along one side of the bathroom, we divide the length of the bathroom by the length of a tile: 114 / 1.5 = 76.
Similarly, by dividing the width of the bathroom by the width of a tile, we get 144 / 2 = 72.
Finally, to calculate the total number of tiles in the bathroom, we multiply the number of tiles along each side: 76 x 72 = 5,472.
Voila! There are 5,472 tiles on the bathroom floor. Just hoping none of them try to pull any bathroom tile comedy routines without my assistance!
To find the number of tiles on the bathroom floor, we need to determine the number of tiles that can fit in the floor area.
First, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit. Let's convert the measurements to inches.
The width of the bathroom floor is 9.5 feet, which is equal to 9.5 x 12 = 114 inches (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
The length of the bathroom floor is 12 feet, which is equal to 12 x 12 = 144 inches.
Next, we calculate the area of one tile:
Area of one tile = length of tile x width of tile = 1.5 inches x 2 inches = 3 square inches.
Now, we can calculate the total area of the floor by multiplying the length and width of the bathroom floor:
Total floor area = length x width = 114 inches x 144 inches = 16,416 square inches.
To find the number of tiles, divide the total floor area by the area of one tile:
Number of tiles = Total floor area / Area of one tile = 16,416 square inches / 3 square inches = 5,472 tiles.
Therefore, there are 5,472 tiles on the bathroom floor.
To calculate the number of tiles on the bathroom floor, we need to first convert the measurements of the bathroom and the tiles to the same unit.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Therefore, the dimensions of the bathroom can be converted as follows:
Length: 9.5 feet * 12 inches/foot = 114 inches
Width: 12 feet * 12 inches/foot = 144 inches
Now let's convert the dimensions of the tiles to inches:
Length: 1.5 inches
Width: 2 inches
To find out how many tiles fit into the bathroom floor, we divide the total area of the bathroom floor by the area of a single tile.
Area of bathroom floor = Length * Width
Area of a single tile = Length * Width
Total number of tiles = Area of bathroom floor / Area of a single tile
Now, let's substitute the values into the equation:
Total number of tiles = (114 inches * 144 inches) / (1.5 inches * 2 inches)
Simplifying the equation:
Total number of tiles = (16,416 square inches) / (3 square inches)
Dividing the values:
Total number of tiles = 5,472 tiles
Therefore, there are 5,472 tiles on the bathroom floor.
