How many 13 x 13 inch tiles are needed for a 15 x 15 foot room?
In practice you will use more tiles than the equivalent area of the room. A 15 foot strip of tiles will require 15 times 12/13 = 13.846 tiles to cover it. This will have to be rounded to 14 tiles. That means that the 15 foot by 15 foot room will require 14 times 14 tiles = 196 tiles to cover it. And that's if you don't drop and break any or mess up one or more cuts.
How many 16 x 16 tiles do you need for a 81' x 68' room?
68 feet = 816 inches, and 816/16 = 51 tiles will fit along that length. Along the other length of the floor, the tiles won't fit evenly; they will have to be cut. 81 feet = 972 inches, and 972/16 = 60.75. Two choices:(1) Only use 60 tiles across that length of the room, but there will be empty space. That means 51*60 = 3060 tiles will fill the entire floor.(2) Fill the emtpy space with an extra row of tiles that are cut to a smaller size. So round up 60.75 to 61 which means you'll need 51*61 = 3111 tiles.
How do you figure the square footage of a box of 10 12X12 ceramic tiles?
If your tiles are 12 by 12 that means they are 1 foot by 1 foot. Say you take 10 and put them in a row that means you will have 10 square feet Area=Length x width (1X10).
How many 12x12 in tiles covers 9x12 ft?
There are 12 inches in 1 foot so each tile is 1x1 ft. This means nine tiles will fit along nine ft and twelve tiles will fit along twelve ft The area of this would be 9x12 Which is 108 In conclusion 108 12x12 in tiles will cover 9x12 ft
How many 3 cm by 4 cm tiles are needed to cover a rectangle that is 24X16?
The easiest way of doing this question is to draw a diagram. 8 lots of 3cm does into 24 so we can fit 8 tiles across. 4 lots of 4cm goes into 16 so we can fit 4 tiles down. The rectangle then has 8 tiles across and 4 down, 8 x 4=32 which means we use 32 tiles
