First find how many square INCHES each tile has.
12x12 tile = 144 sq in (12times12)
16x16 tile = 256 sq in (16times16)
Then divide 256 by 144 to find out how many square feet a 16x16 tile has...= 1.7777..
Then divide 5500 sq ft to 1.7777777... and you get 3093 pieces of 16x16 tile to cover 5500 sq ft.
Add 5% extra for waste (could be 10% etc, ..depends on many factors).
Good luck !

How many 1 foot by foot square tiles would be needed to cover a floor that is 17 feet long?
you need to know how wide the floor is in addition to how long. Number of tiles is lenght x width

How much tiles you need to tile a floor 10 ft by 12 ft using tiles?
Number of tiles required = roundup(area to be covered/area of each tile) where both are measures are expressed in the same units. For the above calculation, you need to know the size of the tiles. You also need to know how "well-behaved" the area is. That will give an idea of how many tiles need to be cut. Then, depending on your skill level, you need to get 5-10% extra.
How do you know how much tiles you need to tile a floor 6ft by 8ft with 12ft tiles?
Assuming you mean 12 square foot tiles and this is going to be a perfect fit: You need to find the area: A = w * h = 6 * 8 = 48 sq ft Divide the area (A) by the area of the tiles: 48 sq ft / 12 sq ft = 4 The answer is four tiles.

What should I know before installing floor tile?
You should know the measurements of the space to be tiled and the measurements of the tile that you plan to buy. Before installing tile you will need to repair any cracks, bumps or dips. You should remove any trim around the floor. And, if doing a bathroom remove the toilet. Good things to know before installing floor tile would be how long the floor will take to set, as well as if you have all the necessary tools to complete the job. Most floor tile installs will require some tiles to be cut, so make sure you can measure and cut the tiles as needed. The installation of the tiles will depend on the instructions listed on the tiles you have picked out so make sure you read these carefully before starting.

If the tiles are 9"x9" assume they are asbestos. Never sand, scrape, pulverize, or agitate existing VAT, or VCT. You can pick them up off the floor if they are dislodged without worry, but I know you can have them tested to be sure

How do you calculate the number of 2x2 squares in a 11x14 space?
Depends.Calculation 1:Imagine a room 11 feet x 14 feet.Now you have tiles 2 feet x 2 feet.If you want to know how many whole 2x2 tiles you can fit on the floor of the room and leave the rest without tiles (because 11 feet is an un-even dimension to the room)(round 11 down to 10)10/2 = 514/2 = 75 * 7 = 35 tiles.Calculation 2:If you want to know how many 2x2 tiles you would need to completely cover the floor (where you would cut the tiles)entire area of floor: 11 feet * 14 feet = 154 feet squaredarea of a single tile: 2 feet * 2 feet = 4 feet squared154 feet squared / 4 feet squared = 38.5 tiles.

Length (ft) x Width )ft) = Area (sq ft); 8 x 6 = 48 sq ft; Assuming the 6-inch tiles are square, then 4 tiles = 1 sq ft Multiply 48 sq ft x 4 tiles per sq ft to determine: 48 x 4 = 192 tiles
You want to make your hand painted floor tiles which you are glazing and firing non-slip Does anyone know if there is anything you can sprinkle on that will not melt when fired at?
There really are no truly non-slip floors. Some tiles have a textured surface that can help. But adding any kind of grit to your glaze will just make shiny, gritty, slippery tiles.
