Josie has a rug with an area of 18 square ft. that is 6 ft long and 3 ft wide. she will put the rug on a floor that is covered in 1/3 sq. ft. tiles. how many tiles will the rug cover? what equation can you use to check your answer?

Step-by-step explanation:

Josie has a rug with an area of 18 square ft. The length is 6 feet and the width is 3 feet.

She will put the rug on a floor that is covered in 1/3 sq. ft. tiles.

To determine the number of tiles that the rug will cover, we would divide the area of the rug by the area of each tile on the floor. It becomes

18 ÷ 1/3 = 18 × 3 = 54

The rug will cover 54 tiles

The equation that can be used to check the answer is

Let number of tiles be x. Let area of rug needed to cover x tiles be y. Therefore,

y = x/3

.there can be infinite values of m and n that can satisfy the above equation. for each value of m of m or n. there maybe infinite sets of solution for the above
