To calculate the number of tiles Ms. Chen will need for her workshop floor, we first need to find the total area of the workshop.
The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this case, the length of the workshop is 15 feet and the width is 11 feet:
\[
\text{Area} = 15 \, \text{ft} \times 11 \, \text{ft} = 165 \, \text{ft}^2
\]
Since each tile covers 1 square foot, Ms. Chen will need 165 tiles to cover the entire floor of her workshop.
