Question

Find the number of tiles of dimensions 2 feet × 2 feet to be laid on the floor of a room of dimensions 16 feet × 14 feet.

• A. 53 tiles
• B. 54 tiles
• C. 55 tiles
• D. 56 tiles

Answer 1

The correct option is D 56 tiles

Area of the room
= Length × Width
= $16\times 14$
= 224 square feet

Area of a tile
= Side × Side
= $2\times 2$
= 4 square feet

Number of tiles
= Area of the room ÷ Area of a tile
= $224÷4$
= 56 tiles
