You can put this solution on YOUR website! In order to figure this problem out, try to imagine a tile floor. Since the floor is 32 tiles long, you can imagine one row that is 32 tiles long. There has to be a lot of these rows to make 928 tiles total. The number of rows times the number of tiles in each row (32 tiles) should equal 928. Therefore, 928 tiles divided by the number of tiles in each row (32 tiles) should equal the number of rows!
number of rows = 928/32
number of row = 29
Since the 32 tile row was the length of the rectangular floor, the number of rows equals the width. Therefore, the width of the floor is 29 tiles!
