• A. 6 tiles per square foot
• B. 5 tiles per square foot
• C. 4 tiles per square foot
• D. 6 tiles per square foot

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4 tiles per square foot

There are 60 tiles in an area of 15 sq ft.

To find how many tiles are in one square foot, divide the number of tiles by the number of square feet.

Number of tiles in one square foot
= $\frac{60}{15}$
= 4

Hence, there are 4 tiles in one square foot area.
