To solve this word problem, you need to first find out how many inches are equal to 10 yards. 12 inches = 1 foot and 3 feet = 1 yard, so 36 inches = 1 yard. If 36 inches = 1 yard, then 360 inches = 10 yards. So, we know the classroom is 360 inches long. If each of the tiles are 10 inches long, to find the number of tiles in a row, divide 360 by 10. 360/10 = 36. Therefore, 36 tiles are needed to make one row the length of the classroom.
