Area of room = 40 sq ft
\n" ); document.write( "length of side of tile = 6.5 in. = 13/2 *1/12= 13/24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of tile = 13 /24 *13/24= 169/576\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of floor / area of tile = number of tiles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "40 / (169/576)
\n" ); document.write( "40 * 576/169
\n" ); document.write( "= 136.3 tiles = 137 tiles
\n" ); document.write( "
