Supose you wish to tile a hallway measuring 48" wide by 216" long. Wgat is the largest size square tile that can be used to tile the hallway? How many tiles will be needed?

48 , 216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of highway  = 216

Breadth of highway = 48

To find:

What is the largest size square tile that can be used to tile the hallway ?

How many tiles will be needed ?

Solution:

To find largest size square tile we will find the highest common factor of

length of highway (216) and breadth of highway (48)

48 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,12,16, 24, 48

216 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 48

Thus, highest common factor is 48 means the largest size square tile that can be used to tile the hallway is 48.

Now, we will find number of tiles  will be needed.

first of all we will find area of rectangular hallway and then divide by the size of the largest tile.

Number of tiles  will be needed =

Therefore, number of tiles  will be needed is 216 pieces
