She will need 51
3.4 multiple by 6 for the sq feet then multiple by 3.4 which gives
24.4 sq feet divided by .4 is 51
Answer:
180 tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Vanessa wants to cover her closet floor with tile’s that are 1/3 feet on each side the closet is 3 1/3 feet wide on a 6 foot deep.
To find the number of tiles needed to cover the closet floor, we will divide area of closet floor by area of each tile as:
[tex]\text{Area of closet floor}=3\frac{1}{3}\text{ feet}\times 6\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of closet floor}=\frac{10}{3}\text{ feet}\times 6\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of closet floor}=10\text{ feet}\times 2\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of closet floor}=20\text{ feet}^2[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of each tile}=\frac{1}{3}\text{ feet}\times \frac{1}{3}\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of each tile}=\frac{1}{9}\text{ feet}^2[/tex]
[tex]\text{Tiles needed to cover the closet floor}=20\text{ feet}^2\div \frac{1}{9}\text{ feet}^2[/tex]
Convert into division problem by flipping the fraction:
[tex]\text{Tiles needed to cover the closet floor}=20\times\frac{9}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Tiles needed to cover the closet floor}=180[/tex]
Therefore, Vanessa needs 180 tiles to cover the closet floor.
