If the tiles are 33centimetres by 33cm how many tiles will you need for 18 foot by 11 foot
I'd suggest finding out how many cm are in a ft
30.48cm = 1ft
548.64cm =18ft
335.28cm = 11ft
Find the area of the space for where the tiles will go
548.64 times 335.28 = 183948.019cm
No find area of 1 tile
33 times 33 = 1089cm
Now divide to see how many tiles can fit
183948.019 / 1089 = 168.914618
Round down to get amount of full tiles that will fit to whole number
168 tiles will fit in that space
