Answer:
117 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = length * width
To find the number of tiles divide the area of pantry floor by the area of a tile.
Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction.
[tex]\sf 4\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\\\6\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{13}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \boxed{\text{\bf Number of tiles = $\dfrac{Area \ of \ floor}{area \ of \ a \ tile}$}}[/tex]
[tex]\sf = \left(\dfrac{9}{2}*\dfrac{13}{2}\right ) \ \div \left(\dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\\\= \left(\dfrac{117}{4}\right) \ \div \left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\\\\\\[/tex]
Use KCF method.
[tex]\sf =\dfrac{117}{4}*\dfrac{4}{1}\\\\= 117[/tex]
