    The number of tiles the rug will cover is 54 tiles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here we have,

    Total area covered by the rug = 18 ft²

    Size of one tile = 1/3 ft²

    Therefore the number of tiles that can fit into the the area is given by;

    Total area of the rug : Area of one tile

    = 18 ft² : 1/3 ft²

    Here we note that we are dividing a number by a fraction which is the same as multiplying the number by the inverse of the fraction as follows

    = 18 * 3/1 ft²/ft² = 54 tiles

    The number of tiles the rug will cover = 54 tiles.

    54 tiles Y = X / 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area of Room = 18 ft^2

    length of Room = 6 ft

    width of Room = 3 ft

    size of tiles = 1/3 ft^2

    How many tiles is needed to cover 18 ft^2

    = 18 ft ^2 / size of each tile

    = 18 ft^2 / 1/3 ft^2

    = 18 * 3 = 54 tiles

    lets assume Area of rug needed = Y

    number of tiles = x

    therefore Y = X / 3 equation
