Mandy was laying tile in her kitchen. She needed 2 and five-eighths rows with 3 and one-halftiles per row to cover the entire floor. How many total tiles did she need? Multiply to find out. 6 and five-sixteenths feet 6 feet 6 and one-half feet 9 and three-sixteenths feet help

I'm guessing the total amount of tiles is 2 (5/8) then we set up 2 (5/8) * 3 (1/2) equals 21/16 * 7/2 equals 147 / 32 which equals 4 (19/32)

6 5/16?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes that multiplication needs fixing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 3/16

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

It's 21/8 * 7/2 = 147 / 16 9 + 3/16 TA DA !!
