The tiles in the floor of a bathroom are 15/16 inch squares. The cement between the tiles

is 1/16 inch. There are 3240 individual tiles in this floor. The area of the floor is

A. 225 sq. yds.

B. 2.5 sq. yds.

C. 250 sq. ft.

D. 22.5 sq. yds

E. 225 sq. ft.

Ok so the answer in here is the option B. 2.5 sq. yds. We get to this conclusion when we get the data and we proceed like this:

3240 square inches of tiles

144 square inches per square foot yields 22.5 square feet

9 square feet per square yard yields 2.5 square yards

I hope this is useful
