3. Ravi is covering a table top in mosaic tiles that each measure one square inch. The table is in
the shape of a rectangle with length 1.5 feet and
width 2 feet. How many tiles does Ravi need?

432 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the dimensions of the table to inches.

There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 1.5 and 2 by 12.

1.5(12) = 18

2(12) = 24

So, the dimensions of the table in inches are 18 by 24.

Find the area of the table using the formula, A = lw

A = lw

A = (18)(24)

A = 432

So, the area is 432 square inches.

Since each tile is one square inch, the table will fit 432 of these.

So, Ravi will need 432 tiles.
