Chen is covering a 12-in. by 10-in. board with 1-inch-square tiles. He uses gray tiles to make six 2-in. by 2-in. squares. He covers the rest of the board with white tiles.


How many more white tiles than gray tiles will Chen use?

Six small rectangles inside a larger rectangle. Two adjacent sides of the larger rectangle are labeled twelve inches and ten inches. The six smaller rectangles appear to be the same size and are all shaded. Two adjacent sides of one of the smaller rectangles are labeled two inches and two inches.
