How many 19.5 inch tiles does it take to cover garage that's 24 foot by 24 foot?
If this is for an actual tiling job, the answer is 225. First, convert feet into inches. 1 foot = 12 inches. 24 * 12 = 288 inches So your garage is 288 inches by 288 inches. 288 inches / 19.5 inches = 14.77 So you would need 14.77 tiles across and 14.77 tiles deep. Since you are buying whole tiles, you have to round up. So it would be 15 tiles x 15 tiles. 15 * 15 = 225 tiles. Since many of the tiles have to be cut (0.77 of a tile), it is possible to use the other (0.23) as part of the flooring and get away with a few less tiles, but that's not practical in a real tiling job. It would look terrible.
How many 13inch square tiles are required for a 13 x 12 foot room?
13 feet by 12 feet is the same as 156 inches by 144 inches. Multiply 156 by 144 to find that the room's area is 22464 square inches. Next, find the area of each tile by multiplying 13 by 13 to get 169 square inches. We need to find how many 169 square inch tiles can fit in a 22464 square inch room, so divide 22464 by 169 and get 132.923077. Round that up to the nearest whole number and get:133 tiles.
How many 18X18 square inch tiles are need for 60 square feet?
60 square feet = 60*12*12 = sq inches. Therefore, minimum number of tiles required = 60*12*12/(18*18) = 26.66... ie 27 tiles. That is the classroom answer to the mathematical question. However, in real life, the area to be covered may not be of a shape in which whole tiles can be used. In that case, unless you can use all the offcuts you will require more tiles.
How many 16x16 inch tile to make 700 square feet?
700 sq ft = 700*12*12 = 100800 sq inches 16*16 sq inches = 256 sq inches So number of tiles = 100800/256 = 393.75 If this is for real, rather than a maths sum, allow for the fact that the shape you are tiling may not correspond to a whole number of tiles along its length or breadth and also for breakages.
How many 18x18 inch tiles are needed to cover 800 sq ft?
In order to answer this question, we need to convert the dimensions of the tiles into ft. This makes all units consistent, and so easier to work with. There are 12 inches in a foot, and so to convert from inches to feet you need to divide by 12. In this case the tiles are 18x18, so divide this by 12 and you get 1.5ft x 1.5ft This means the tiles have an area of 2.25 sq ft. To find how many are needed for 800 sq ft, you just divide: 800/2.25 = 355.555555... Therefore, you would need 355.5 recurring tiles to cover the whole area.

How many five square inch tiles will fit in a 12 foot 6 inch by 10 foot four inch room?
on the 12'6" side 30 tiles on the 10'4" side 24.8 tiles which means you're going to need 25 So a total of 750 tiles for the whole room. a 5 square inch tile is 2.5 inhces x 2 inhces. 12 ft 6 inches is 12.5 ft, therfore 12.5 ft x 10 ft equals 125 square ft. There are 144 square inches in a square ft. So 144 x 125 square ft equals 18,000 square inches. 18,000 square inches divided by 5 square inches equals 3,600 tiles. if your tiles measure 5 inches by 5 inches they are 25 square inches not 5 square inches
You want to install kitchen floor tiles that measure 12 inches by 12 inches your kitchen measures 12 feet by 14 feet but there is a 2 foot by 4 foot area around the sink that will not be tiled how?
The area around the sink would take two rows of four tiles each, so that is 8 tiles which will NOT be needed. The whole floor would take twelve rows of fourteen tiles = 12 x 14 = 168. So, if we take away the 8 tiles which won't be needed we are left with 160 tiles.

How many tiles would be needed to fit a whole bathroom when the measurements are 12by10ft?
It depends on how big your tiles are
How many 20x20 inch tile needed for 500 square feet?
500 sq feet = 500*12*12 = 72000 sq inches Each tile is 20*20 = 400 sq inches So, number of tiles required = 72000/400 = 180 This assumes that either the shape is such that only whole tiles are required or that all offcuts are used.
How many 18X18 square inch tiles are need for 60 square feet?

How do you calculate how many tiles needed for a room 14x14?
You need to work out the tiling pattern first. Sometimes you can start with a whole tile in a corner, but often the pattern looks better if you have the same size part tiles all the way round - if the whole area is visible, part tiles one side and whole the other looks odd, particularly with large tiles. You also want to avoid a row at the edge that is very narrow part tiles. Work out how many part tiles are needed and how many tiles they must be cut from. After that, calculate the area to be covered in whole tiles and divide by the area of a tile, altghough most boxes of tiles state the coverage - something like 12 tiles per square metre or whatever. Then add 10% to the total. You will often have to buy complete boxes too.
How many 18 inch by 18 inch tiles do you need to cover a 16' by 16' room and can you show me how to convert?
A foot is 12 inches, which means 18 inches is equal to 18/12 = 1.5 feet. However, 2(1.5) = 3 (which is the base of all integer answers to this), and 16/3 is irreducible, so we may not tile the whole floor with 18 by 18 inch tiles (only a 15' by 15' area). Note that it would be easier if the tiles were not squares, since flipping the tiles would make it more functional. According to my calculation: 1feet = 12 inches so 16' x 16' = 192" x 192" inch2 --> (16'x16')/(18"x18") = 113.78. Which means you need approximately 114 tiles to fill the room. This is only possible if you are able to cut the tiles, which is not a parameter in the problem.
