Jeff is replacing the tile on his floor. he pans to use square tiles that are 11 inches on a side. the floor is 8 feet long and 6 feet wide. cabinet in the middle of the floor that will not need tile. this space is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. estimate how many title will be used

Answer 1

just using the measurements, the tiled area is

8*6 - 2*3 = 42 ft^2
11" is nearly a foot, so we can estimate that about 42 tiles will be needed.

Naturally, since the tiles are a bit smaller, more of them will actually be used.
