Tasha plants to tile the floor in her room with square tiles that are 1/4 foot long. will she use more or fewer tiles if she only able to purchase square tiles that are 1/3 foot long? explain

1/4 foot = 3 inches.
The area of a 1/4-ft square is (3" x 3") = 9 square inches.

1/3 foot = 4 inches.
The area of a 1/3-ft square is (4" x 4") = 16 square inches.

The 1/3-ft square tile covers more area than a 1/4-ft square tile
covers.  So she won't need as many 1/3-ft tiles to cover the floor
in her room.  She will use fewer of those.
