A 16in x 16 in block has an area of 16*16 sq inches = 16/9 sq feet.
To cover 196 sq ft you will require a minimum of 196/(16/9) = 196*16/9 = 110.25 blocks, that is 111 blocks.
However, this assumes that the area is well behaved and that almost all offcuts are used. In real life that is a very unrealistic assumption and you should allow at least 5% for wastage.

Assuming they are 8 inch*16 inch blocks, 144 square feet = 144*12*12 square inches. So number of blocks required = 144*12*12/(8*16) = 162
720 4"x 8" tiles are needed.
2.78 square feet.
It depends on whether the blocks are laid with a 8x8 face up or 8x16.

I think perhaps 2250 blocks .

12 x 12 blocks (assumed as 12 inch x 12 inch) That means the blocks are 1 square foot each Hence to cover 240 square feet area, you would need 240 blocks
2.77 square feet.
2.25 square feet.
More information is needed EG what type of 12 inch blocks there are many(see link below). Also what way up are you using these blocks. http://www.boralbestblock.com/product-lines/masonry/standard-block/12-inch-block
3.5555 square feet.
