A 3 inch by 6 inch tile covers 18 square inches which converts to 0.125 square feet.

35 square feet divided by 0.125 square feet is 280 tiles. This does not take into the consideration the area taken up by grout between the tiles and putty at the ends so it will probably be less than 280 tiles.

But unless the area to be covered exactly matches a layout of the tiles, some tiles will have to be cut to fit against the edges. Some will break or be miscut so you should probably get about 300 tiles.

You can keep the extra in case some break accidentally or most stores will accept return of the unused tiles.

Te asnwer depend on the units of measurement for the tiles as well as the shape of the area to be covered. A circular shape, for example, will require many tiles to be cut and it may not be possible to use the offcuts, because they will be concave.

180 square foot = 25920 square inches

13 inch by 13 inch = 169 square inches

Therefore 25920 / 169 = 153.3727810650888

so you will need 154 tiles to cover the area.

A one square foot tile would be 12 inches on a side. That means it would take 6 tiles. Multiply it out would be 36 2 inch tiles.
