HELP PLEAES I NEED IT NOW

Square tiles (12 inches by 12 inches) are used to cover a rectangular countertop containing 40 square feet. How many tiles are needed to cover the countertop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 square feet tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

It may help to have a visual. Anyways, if the countertop contains 40 square feet, that means the area is 40 square feet. Keep in mind that 12 inches = 1 foot. So if we have 1 foot squared tiles and we need to find how many tiles it takes to cover the countertop, we use division. 40 square feet ÷ 1 square feet tiles = 40 square feet tiles.

Answer:

It would take 40

Step-by-step explanation:

12 inches = 1 foot

1 foot by 1 foot square tiles

And 40 square feet so

1 x 40 = 40

Have a good day. :)
