Question

A rectangular path of 60 m length and 3 m width is covered by square tiles of side 25 cm. How many tiles will there be in one row along its width? How many such rows will be there? Find the number of tiles used to make this path?

Answer 1

Length of rectangular path = 60 m = 6000 cm

Width of rectangular path = 3 m = 300 cm

Side of a square tile = 25 cm

Number of tiles will be in one row along the width of the path = width of the path/ side of a tile = 300/25 = 12

Width of path = width of the path/ side of a tile = 300/25 = 12

Number of rows = length of the path/ side of a tile = 6000/25 = 240
