Jen plans to tile the kitchen floor. Each time covers 3 square meters. The kitchen is 4 5/6 meters wide and 5 meters long. How many times does Jen need to cover the kitchen floor?

Jen needs approximately 8 tiles to cover the kitchen floor

Step-by-step explanation:

What we want to calculate here is the number of tiles needed to cover the kitchen floor.

The first thing we need to do here is to calculate the area of the kitchen floor.

Mathematically, that would be the product of the length of the kitchen floor and the length of the width.

That is; 4 5/6 * 5 = 29/6 * 5 = 145/6 m^2

Now, to calculate the number of tiles needed, we only need to divide the area of the kitchen floor by the area of the individual tiles

Mathematically, that would be;

145/6 ÷ 3 = 145/6 * 1/3 = 145/18 = 8.05556

This is approximately 8 tiles

in 4 days he will run   12/14
