Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Josie has a rug with an area of 18 square ft. The length is 6 feet and the width is 3 feet.
She will put the rug on a floor that is covered in 1/3 sq. ft. tiles.
To determine the number of tiles that the rug will cover, we would divide the area of the rug by the area of each tile on the floor. It becomes
18 ÷ 1/3 = 18 × 3 = 54
The rug will cover 54 tiles
The equation that can be used to check the answer is
Let number of tiles be x. Let area of rug needed to cover x tiles be y. Therefore,
y = x/3
