ok so

8 meters x 7 meters = 56 meters squared

so one package covers 1.60 m^2

# of packages = 56m^2 / 1.60m^2 = 35 packages

A square meter and a meter are not comparable in quantity. That's like saying "How many seconds are in a dollar?"

A square meter refers to AREA. One square meter is like a bathroom tile, but one meter across each side. A meter refers to LENGTH. You could measure your height in meters.

Back to your problem: your floor is 8x7 meters, or 8 meters long and 7 meters wide, so it is 8x7=56 square meters. Imagine 56 bathroom tiles, placed 7 in a row and 8 in a column.

However, your packages are not 1 meter, but 1.6 meters. The amount of packages you need would be 56/1.6=35 packages. Think of it this way: if you used bigger tiles in the bathroom, you'd need less tiles. Therefore, you only need 35, not 56 tiles for your problem.

A square meter is a square with meter-long sides. So if your room is 8x7, then just multiply 8 and 7 to get 56. Divide by 1.6 to find out how many packages you need. (you'll need 35 packages.)

If your room is 8 meters X 7 meters, then you have 56 square meters in there.

So you will need (at a minimum) 56/1.6 = 35 packages.

That being said, you will have some fractional panels and such that you have to cut to make work for a room, so you will probably want to have extra.

We know that:-

The area of 1 package of floor panel = 1.6 m² / package
The area of living room = (8 x 7) m² = 56 m²

If you want to find the amount of packages for that living room, you should divide the whole area of the living room with the area of the floor panel.

No. of packages = (The area of living room) / (The area of 1 package of floor panel)
= (56 m²) / (1.6 m² / package)
= 35 packages

your floor is 8 x 7 = 56 sq meters

56 divided by 1.6 meter boxes = exactly 35 boxes

however if this is for a real floor and not a math question you will need an extra box or two for scrap.

8*7=56 square meters
56/1.6=35 packages of panels

LR = 8 X 7 = 56 sm
Box = 1.6 sm
Therefore 56 / 1.6 = the number of boxes that you need
