The floor of a rectangular hall is 24 m long and 18 m wide. How many carpets, each of length 2.5 m and breath 80 cm, will be required to cover the floor of the hall?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given: Length of carpet = 2.5 m

Breadth of carpet = 80 cm = 0.8 m

Length of hall = 24 m

Breadth of hall = 18 m

We know that,

Area of hall = Length × Breadth

= 24 m × 18 m

= 432 m²

And,

Area of carpet = Length × Breadth

= 2.5 m × 0.8 m

= 2 m²

Now,

= 216 carpets
