The floor of a rectangular room will be tiled with square tiles that measure 3 inches on each side. The room is 109 inches long and 103 inches wide. How many tiles, including parts of tiles, are needed to complete the job?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[109\div3 + 103 \div3\]

OpenStudy (hunus):

What would be the area of the room?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forget how to figure area

OpenStudy (hunus):

The area of a rectangle is its width times its length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11227

OpenStudy (hunus):

And what is the area of one tile?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (hunus):

So if each tile is 9 square inches and the whole room is 11227 square inches, we're going to need to find out how many tiles (x) we need to cover the room. 9*x = 11227

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could I just divide 11227 by 9?

OpenStudy (hunus):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1247

OpenStudy (hunus):

Yup
