You can put this solution on YOUR website! area of class room = 60 m^2
..
tile size = 30 cm by 30cm
The tiles are in cm
convert them to meters
1meter = 100 cm
30 cm = 0.3 m
Area of tile = 0.3*0.3= 0.09m^2
..
The area of the classroom divided by the area of the tile will give us the number of tiles required .
60/0.09
=667 tiles will be required.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
.
question states
floor area = 60m^2
.
*Note: 30cm = .3m
Area of each tile in m^2:
.3^2 = .09m^2
.
60m^2 / .09 m^2 = 666.67
.
would take 667 whole tiles.
