Question

One square tile on your kitchen floor is 11.2511.25 inches long. It takes 12.512.5 tiles to cover the length of the floor. About how long is the floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the floor is about 11.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, it takes 12.5 tiles to cover the length of the floor.

The length of each square tile is 11.25 inches. So, if 12.5 tiles each of length 11.25 inches are joined, we will get to know the length of the floor.

So, the length of the floor is,

$11.25 \times 12.5$

$=140.625 \text {in}$

So the length of the floor is 140.625 inches or we can say roughly about 141 inches.

We can convert this length into feet.

1 feet = 12 inches, so the length of the floor in inches is,

$\frac{141}{12} =11.75 \text {ft}$

So the length of the floor is 11.75 feet.
