Aurelio is purchasing carpet tiles to cover an area of
his living room floor that is 831 feet wide by 10 feet
long. Each carpet tile is a square 20 inches wide by
20 inches long. What is the minimum number of carpet
tiles that Aurelio must purchase to cover this area of
his living room floor?
Start by converting the width and length to inches.
w=831 ft =100 in
l=10 ft=120 in
Since each tile is 20 by 20, we will need 5 by 6 tiles = 30 tiles
