Step-by-step solution for Exercise 1 on page 31 of Math 5
Problem statement:
To tile the floor of a rectangular room, square ceramic tiles with a side length of 330cm are used. Calculate the number of tiles needed to cover the floor of the room, knowing that the room is 6m wide and 9m long? (Disregard the area of the mortar joints).
Solution Method:
- Step 1: Calculate the floor area of the room using the formula for the area of a rectangle, then convert the unit to dm2
- Step 2: Determine the area of a square tile by applying the formula for the area of a square (side x side)
- Step 3: Calculate the number of tiles needed by dividing the floor area of the rectangular room by the area of a single tile.
Answer:
The floor area of the room is:
9 x 6 = 54 (m2) or 5400 dm2
30cm = 3dm
The area of a single tile is:
3 x 3 = 9 (dm2)
The number of tiles needed is:
5400 : 9 = 600 (tiles)
The answer is: 600 tiles.
