i got one tile that is 150mm by 150mm
how many tiles will i need to fill that room..

how do i figure out the answer quick with a calculator


i have not done any math in years sorry..

Answer 1

2870*2950/(150*150)=377 tiles this is the theorotical but i guess u want to tile ur room right
the walls rae not exactly rependicular there will be some dviation so u need extra 20 tiles for that u will need to cut some
good luck in that

Answer 2

Assuming the typo and the room is in METERS. You will need 2.95 / .15 = 19.667=20 for one side
and
2.87 / .15 = 19.13 for the other side
When you cut the left over tile of a tile from the first side the extra will be enough for the second side. Therefore you require 20 x 19=380 tiles. Get at least 400 just in case you screw up the cuts.

Of course this does not account for space between tiles. In that case you will require less tiles. But this is a good estimate.

Answer 3

1 tile 150 millimeters square will cover the entire space (you'll have to cut it down to just under 3 x 3 millimeters).

Let's say you really meant that your room dimensions were:

2.87 m by 2.95 m

The area is 2.87 x 2.95 = 8.4665 m square
Convert to millimeters: 8.4665 x 1000 x 1000 = 8,466,500

Your tiles are 150mm by 150mm:
150 x 150 = 22,500 mm square

How many tiles fit inside the total area of the room?

8,466,500 divided by 22,500 = 376.289 tiles.

(You're going to need more than this because all the tiles along at least two of the edges will be cut to fit.)
