A rectangular path of 60m length and 3m width is covered by square tiles of side 25cm. How many tiles will there be in one row along its width? How many such rows will be there? Find the number of tiles used to make this path?

Dear Student,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Given}, \mathrm{length} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{rectangular} \mathrm{path}, \mathrm{l}=60\mathrm{m} \\ \mathrm{Width} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{rectangular} \mathrm{path}, \mathrm{b}=3 \mathrm{m} \\ \mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{rectangular} \mathrm{path}=\mathrm{lb}=60\times 3=180 {\mathrm{m}}^2 \\ \mathrm{And}, \mathrm{side} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{square}=25 \mathrm{cm}=0.25 \mathrm{m} \\ \mathrm{So}, \mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{square} \mathrm{tiles}={\left(\mathrm{side}\right)}^2={\left(.25\right)}^2=0.0625 \\ \left(2\right) \\ \mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{tiles} \mathrm{along} \mathrm{its} \mathrm{width}=\frac{\mathrm{width} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{path}}{\mathrm{side} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{square}}=\frac{3}{0.25}=12 \\ \left(3\right) \\ \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{tiles}=\frac{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{rectangular} \mathrm{path}}{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{one} \mathrm{square} \mathrm{tile}}=\frac{180}{0.0625}=2880 \\ \left(1\right) \\ \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{rows}=\frac{\mathrm{Total} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{tiles}}{\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{tiles} \mathrm{along} \mathrm{its} \mathrm{width}}=\frac{2880}{12}=240 \end{gathered}$$
