Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 28 inches on each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft.

28/12*28/12 = 5.444 ft^2 per tile

102 * 18 = 1836 ft^2 (kitchen for a huge school I assume)

1836/5.444 = 338 tiles
If we convert the dimensions to inches, then the kitchen is 1224 by 216 inches.

1224/28 = 43.7
216/28 = 7.7

So, assuming no fractional tiles are to be reused, we need 44*8=352 tiles.

The only weird thing about this problem is the idea of a kitchen 102 feet long!!! Is there a typo?
