Answer:
461 tiles (Approx) vinyl tiles are used in kichen tile .
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth
As given
A tile kitchen measuring 20 ft. by 16 ft.
Here Length = 20 ft
Breadth = 16 ft
Put in the formula
Area of a kitchen tile = 20 × 16
= 320 ft²
As 1foot = 12 inches
Thus
Convert 320 ft² into inches² .
320 ft² = 320 × 12 × 12 inches²
= 46080 inches²
As given
The number of vinyl tiles, measuring 10 in.
Area of a square = a²
Where a is the side of a square .
Thus
Area of a vinyl tiles = 10 × 10
= 100 inches²
Let us assume that the number of vinyl tiles be x.
Than
x × Area of a vinyl tiles = Area of a kitchen tile
Put in the formula
x × 100 = 46080
[tex]x = \frac{46080}{100}[/tex]
x = 460.8 tiles
x = 461 (Approx) tiles
Therefore 461 tiles (Approx) vinyl tiles are used in kichen tile .
