So first you have to convert the 12 feet 8 inches and 18 feet 9 inches to total inches .(12 inches = 1 ft)
12ft 8 in = 12.666 ft *12 = 152 inches.
18 ft 9in = 18.75 ft*12 =225 inches.
so total space = 152* 225 =34,200 square inches
each tile is 8inch square so there fill 8*8=64 square inches
# tiles= 34,200 square inches/ 64 square inches
=534.375 tiles
So 534 tiles will cover the floor and you will have 24 square inches remaining.( maybe you can put an area rug underneath so they won't show - LOL).
Good luck

Why do you want people to show their work? So you can copy it for your own???? I don't think that's what "homework help" is all about!
Homework help is about giving you a push in the right direction, so that's what I will do -- hope this helps!
Take your kitchen measurements and convert them to inches only -- so 12 ft 8 in = (12 x 12) + 8 in = 152 in. Do that with the other measurement too. Then you can take the width x length and figure out the total area in square inches (length x width = area).
Then you know one tile covers how many square inches (remember, length x width = area).
Then you just divide the kitchen area by the tile area to determine how many tiles you need.
Of course, if there's any remainder when you divide, you will have to add WHOLE tiles to the answer to accommodate that, since you can't buy partial tiles only whole tiles.
Good luck!

1. Convert the dimensons to inches so 12ft 8in wide is 152in and 18ft 9in long is 225 inches.
2. Divide the width by 8 inches: 152/8=19
3. Divide the length by 8 inches: 225/8=28.125
4. Multiply width (19tiles) and length (28.125) tiles
5. Answer: 535 tiles. You would need 532 whole tiles and the last 3 tiles would have to be cut into 8-1" strips to fill the gap of .125inches. You would be left with 5 unused 1"X8" tile strips assuming you don't break any while cutting.
6. Tell your teacher you got it from Yahoo! Answers :)

Hmmm... I sense that you want a straight-out answer for math homework? I won't tell you the answer, but I'll tell you how to get it.
Step one: Convert all measurements into inches.
Multiply the feet of each dimension by 12, then add the remaining inches for the length and width
Step two: Find the area of the kitchen.
Multiply the length in inches by the width in inches.
Step three: Find the answer.
Divide the area by the measurement of the tiles.
Now do the rest yourself! It'll pay off to know how to do it when test time comes.

First, convert the measurements to inches:
12'8 = 152 inches and 18'9 = 225 inches
Then, get the area of the kitchen:
Length(225 inches) x Width(152 inches) = 34200 inches
Next, divide the area by the area of the tiles:
Kitchen floor area / Area of each tile(8x8) = answer
Finished! Enjoy your homework!

You want us to show our work so that you can show your work on your homework assignment.
Tricky tricky.
Do the area of the floor, in inches, then divide that by the area of one tile.
(152 in*225 inches)/(8 in*8in)
You can take it from there.

no of tiles=area of the floor/area of one tile
=152*225/(8*8)=535 tiles
