Joe's bathroom floor is 5 feet wide and 8 feet long. He will cover the floor with 3-inch square tiles. How many tiles does Joe need?

The solution is, 14** tiles **does Joe need.
What is area ?
Area is the measure of a region's size on a surface. The area of a plane region or plan**e area **refers to the area of a shape or planar lamina, while surface area refers to the **area **of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object.
here, we have,
given that,
Joe's bathroom floor is 5 feet wide and 8 feet long. He will cover the floor with 3" square tiles .
so first find** area**
area =legnth times width
5=width
8=legnth
5 times 8=40
so, we have,
area =40
3 area times x number of tiles =40
divide both sides by 3
x=40/3
x=13 and 1/3
since you can't buy 1/3 tiile
round up
x=14
answer is 14 tiles does Joe need.

Joe needs 640 tiles to cover his 5 feet by 8 feet bathroom floor with 3" square tiles. It's important to leave small gaps between tiles to account for expansion and contraction due to temperature and moisture changes.
To calculate how many 3" square tiles Joe needs to cover his bathroom floor, which measures 5 feet wide and 8 feet long, we need to first convert the measurements to the same unit of measure. Since the tiles are measured in inches, we convert the floor dimensions to inches by multiplying by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
The width of the floor in inches is 5 feet x 12 inches/foot = 60 inches, and the length is 8 feet x 12 inches/foot = 96 inches. Now we calculate how many tiles fit along the width and the length:

Number of tiles along the width = 60 inches / 3 inches = 20 tiles.
Number of tiles along the length = 96 inches / 3 inches = 32 tiles.

Finally, to find the total number of tiles needed, we multiply the number of tiles along the width by the number of tiles along the length:
Total number of tiles = 20 tiles x 32 tiles = 640 tiles.
Tumi and Jason need to leave small gaps between the tiles for expansion and contraction due to temperature and moisture changes. These gaps prevent the tiles from cracking or lifting when they expand.

Joe needs approximately 640 tiles to cover his bathroom floor, as the total area of the floor is 5760 square inches and each tile covers 9 square inches.
