Problem
Kelly is putting up tile on a wall in a bathroom. The wall is \( 3.6 \mathrm{~m} \) long. Each tile has a length of \( 40 \mathrm{~cm} \). How many tiles will Kelly be able to fit along the length of the wall? [?] tiles Hint: \( 1 \mathrm{~m}=100 \mathrm{~cm} \) Enter Copyright \( @ 2003 \) - 2023 Interatational Acadeny of Science, All Rights Reserved.
Solution
Step 1 ：Convert wall length to cm: \(3.6\mathrm{~m} \times 100 \mathrm{~cm/m} = 360 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Step 2 ：Calculate the number of tiles: \(\frac{360 \mathrm{~cm}}{40 \mathrm{~cm/tile}}\)
Step 3 ：Find the result: \(\frac{360}{40} = 9 \times 10 = 90\)
