Manesh is putting new tile on a kitchen counter. each sheet of tile will cover 1.5ft

It will take 12 sheets of tile to cover the whole counter.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by dividing the counter into 2 rectangles.

Area of the top rectangle

=length⋅width

=2⋅4

=8 ft  

Area of the bottom rectangle  

=length⋅width

=2⋅5

=10 ft  

We can find the total area of the counter by adding.

8 +10=18 ft  

Each sheet covers 1.5\text{ ft}^21.5 ft  

2

1, point, 5, space, f, t, start superscript, 2, end superscript. To find the total number of sheets needed to cover the whole counter, we can divide.

18/1.5=12 .

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
