Wilma is tiling her bathroom with tiles that measure 1 foot along each side. The bathroom is 15 feet long and 10 feet wide. She can lay 30 tiles per hour. Which of the following can be used to find the total number of hours it will take Wilma to cover the floor with tiles?

(15 * 10) / 30 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each tile is 1 foot on each side this means that each tile will cover 1 square foot (1ft * 1ft = 1sq. ft.). We would now need to find the square footage of the bathroom by multiplying the bathroom length by its width. Then we can divide that square footage by 30 tiles per hour to find out how long it will take to cover the floor with tiles.

(15 * 10) / 30 = x

150 / 30 = x

5 hours = x

Finally, we can see that at a pace of 30 tiles per hour, Wilma will be able to finish tiling her bathroom in 5 hours.
