To cover a floor of 8,500 in² with 6in by 13in tiles, calculate the area of one tile (78 in²) and divide the total floor area by the area of one tile, resulting in approximately 108.97 tiles. Needing whole tiles, Justin will require at least 109 tiles. ;

Justin will need a minimum of 109 tiles to cover the bathroom floor. This is calculated by dividing the total area of the floor (8500 in²) by the area of one tile (78 in²) and rounding up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, at least 109 tiles are required for the job.
