हिंदी में जवाब दो: The floor of a room measures 6 m by 4 m. Square tiles of side 50 cm are used to cover it. How many tiles are needed?

Answer: 96 tiles are needed.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Convert units to be consistent

To ensure all calculations are consistent, we need to convert the dimensions of the room from meters to centimeters, as the tile size is given in centimeters. We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.

Step 2: Calculate the area of the room

The floor of the room is rectangular, so its area can be calculated by multiplying its length by its width. We use the converted dimensions in centimeters.

Step 3: Calculate the area of one tile

Since the tiles are square, the area of one tile is found by multiplying its side length by itself.

Step 4: Calculate the number of tiles needed

To find the total number of tiles required, we divide the total area of the room by the area covered by a single tile. This gives us how many tiles fit into the room's area.
