Answer:
Length of each tile will be = [tex]1\frac{1}{6}\ ft\approx 1.17\ ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
6 tiles fit perfectly in the 7 ft bathroom.
To find the length of each tile.
Solution:
In order to find the length of each tile we will use unitary method.
Applying unitary method.
If 6 tiles take up the length = 7 ft
∴ 1 tile will take = [tex]\frac{7}{6}\ ft[/tex]
The fraction can be converted to mixed fraction by writing the quotient as whole number, remainder as numerator and divisor as denominator.
So,
[tex]\frac{7}{6}\ ft=1\frac{1}{6}\ ft[/tex]
So, length of each tile will be = [tex]1\frac{1}{6}\ ft\approx 1.17\ ft[/tex]
