How many 18 x 18 inch carpet tiles do you need for a 9 x 12 foot room?

Couple of ways to do perform this task: (1) The area of each tile is 18 x 18 inches = 324 square inches. Calculate the area of the room in Inches: 9 ft (108 in) x 12 ft (144 in) = 15552 square inches. Take the area of the room, divided by the area of each tile: 15552 sq in/ 324 sq in = 48 tiles. (2) Determine how many tiles you need to span the width of the room. 9 feet divided by 18 inches is the same as saying 9 feet divided by 1.5 feet = 6 tiles across Determine how m any tiles you need to span the length of the room. 12 feet divided by 18 inches is the same as saying 12 feet divided by 1.5 feet = 8 tiles across 6 tiles wide x 8 tiles long = 48 tiles.


How many 12x12 tiles needed for a 10 x 10 room?

The units of measurement for neither the tile nor the room are given. I can therefore assume that it is a 10 ft x 10 ft room and a 12 ft by 12 ft [carpet] tile. So answer: less than 1 tile.

How many tiles whose length and breadth are 12 cm and 5 cm respectively will be needed to fit in a rectangular region whose length and breadth are respectively 100 cm and 144 cm?

Assuming your measurements also account for the tile grout, 5cm goes into 100cm 20 times, and 12cm goes into 144cm 12 times, so 20 * 12 = 240 tiles.


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.
