the kitchen floor is 12'6\" in width and 10'4\" in length. you have decided to put in a new tile floor. the tiles that you have selected are 5\" on each side.
\n" ); document.write( "1. express the area of the kitchen floor, in square feet, as an improper fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: (12 1/2)(10 1/3) = 120 + 4 + 5 + 1/6 = 129 1/6 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. express the area of each tile in square feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 5\" x 5\" = (5/12)(5/12) = 25/144 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "3. how many tiles are required to tile the* floor?
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: [129 1/6]/[25/144] = (775/6)/(25/144) = (775/25)*(144/6)
\n" ); document.write( "= 31*24 = 744 tiles
\n" ); document.write( "===========================
