How many 10cm square to tiles to tile a space 1m by 40cm?

Answer 1

To tile a space that is 1m by 40cm, first convert the measurements to a common unit. 1m is equivalent to 100cm. So the space is 100cm by 40cm. To find the total area to be tiled, multiply the length by the width: 100cm x 40cm = 4000cm². Since each tile is 10cm x 10cm = 100cm², divide the total area by the area of each tile: 4000cm² ÷ 100cm² = 40 tiles. You would need 40 10cm square tiles to tile the space.

Answer 2

1 metre = 100 centimetres

Area = 100 x 40 = 4000 cm2

Area of each tile = 10x 10 = 100 cm2

Number of tiles required = 4000/100 = 40 tiles

Alternatively, 10 tile lengths = 1 metre : 4 tile lengths = 40 cm

Number of tiles required = 10 x 4 = 40
