Question

Ajit was building a house. He wants to have a 9m×6m sized rectangular base to hold his locker which has some valuable stuff To ensure uniformity throughout his builder suggested that he should use square tiles all of the same size ,to complete 9m×6m base . Ajit being an extravagant wanted to have the maximum size of such square to be used. Find out the number of square tiles Ajit had to buy ? Solve this with full explaining

Answer 1

Solution:
Find HCF of 9 and 6
9 = 3x3
6 = 2x3
HCF=3
So square tiles should be 3m x 3m
Then number of tiles = (9x6)/(3x3) = 54/9 = 6 .
So 6 tiles are required of size 3m x 3m.
