Question

Square meters of ceiling | Number of tiles 1 | 10.75 10 | X what is the value of X?

Answer 1

We can find the number of tiles, using the next proportion:

$\frac{1\text{ square meter}}{10\text{ }square\text{ meters}}=\frac{10.75\text{ tiles}}{x\text{ tiles}}$

Solving for x:

$\begin{gathered} 1\cdot x=10.75\cdot10 \\ x=107.5\text{ tiles} \end{gathered}$
