Answer:
168 square tiles are required to cover the floor.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A room measuring 7m by 6m is to be covered by square tiles of side 0.5m.
Now, to find the quantity of tiles required to cover the floor.
The room measures = 7m by 6m.
So, to get the area of the room:
[tex]7\times 6[/tex]
[tex]=42\ m^2.[/tex]
The area of the room = 42 m².
Now, to get the area of square tiles by putting formula:
Side = 0.5 m.
[tex]Area =(side)^2[/tex]
[tex]Area=(0.5)^2[/tex]
[tex]Area=0.25\ m^2.[/tex]
The area of the tiles = 0.25 m².
Now, to get the number of tiles required to cover the floor we divide the area of the room by the area of the tiles:
Area of the room ÷ area of the tiles.
[tex]=42\div 0.25[/tex]
[tex]=168.[/tex]
Therefore, 168 square tiles are required to cover the floor.
