A room, 6 m wide and 8 m long, is to be covered with square tiles. If each square tile is of side 2 m, then find the number of tiles required to cover the entire floor of the room.
Area of the room = Area of a rectangle
= Length x Breadth
=(6×8) sq m
=48 m2
Area of each tile = Area of a square
=(2×2) sq m
=4 m2
