Answer:
96 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
The kitchen floor is rectangular on shape.
The dimensions of the kitchen floor were 8 feet by 12 feet.
Hence, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Length = 8ft
Width = 12ft
Hence:
Area = 8ft × 12ft
= 96 ft²
If each tile was 1 square foot, the number of tiles he would need is
1 ft² = 1 tile
96 ft² = x
Cross Multiply
1ft² × x = 96 ft² × 1 tile
x = 96 ft² × 1 tile/1 ft²
x = 96 tiles
Therefore, Mark's father would need 96 tiles
