Answer:
The number of (2 X 4 ) foot tiles needed for 48 square feet is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the small tiles = 2 ft x 4 ft
Area that needed to be covered by tiles = 48 sq feet
Now, Area of 1 tile = LENGTH X WIDTH
= 2 ft x 4 ft = 8 sq ft
Now, [tex]\textrm{Total number of tiles required to cover the area} = \frac{\textrm{Total Area that needs to be covered}}{\textrm{Area of each tile}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{48 sqft}{8sqft} = 6[/tex]
or, Number of tiles required = 6
Hence, the number of (2 X 4 ) foot tiles needed for 48 square feet is 6.
