The maths is;
6 inch = 0.5 foot & 24 inch = 2 foot therefore 0.5 (height) x 2 (width) x 75 (Sq ft) = 1/2 × 2 = 75

Is wood ok to use as a sub floor when laying tile?
Wood is fine for your SUB-floor, but not as the substrate to which you intend to attach the tile. You still need to install a crack isolation membrane or tile backerboard on top of the wood subflooring. It's because wood has too much 'give' and will cause your tiles to track and possibly pop loose. Grout lines will crack and eventually chip out.I followed instructions exactly for installing tile to my plywood subfloor - I used a polymer-modified thinset mortar designed to work with wood, and my floor joists were 16" on centers. The only difference is that I had a double thickness of subfloor (1-1/2") instead of the recommended minimum of 3/4". Ten years later, I have several tiles which sound 'hollow' (loosened from the subfloor) and several others are cracked. These are high-density porcelain floor tiles. I'll not do that again.
Can you lay ceramic tiles over wooden floor?
Most ceramic tiles are laid over a wooden subfloor, except for those on the ground floor of a house with a slab foundation. I will add to the answer above by saying that you will need to use a polymer-modified thinset morter when installing ceramic tiles over wood. Most tile-setting morters available today are "modified", but check to be sure, because regular morters are designed to be used over concrete and will not adhere properly to wood. Also, if the floor area is large and there is more than a tiny bit of flex in the floor, you might end up with cracked tiles, especially if you or your family or guests are heavy. To avoid this, it might be necessary to build up the thickness of the floor by adding another layer of 3/4" plywood, or by using the older method of wire mesh and concrete over the existing wood (in which case you would not need a modified morter).
Can you install tile over wood?
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You will regret it later. Tile needs a cement base to adhere to. A wooden base is not good for ceramic tiles. I have seen tile floors where people have tiled over the wood. The tiles are loose, cracked and unlevel. The grout is coming out and water seeps through the floor.
Can you tile over plywood floor?
You couldn't tile directly over a plywood sub-floor because over time, the wood will be expanding. There are products you can use in between the plywood and tiles to keep them in place such as cement backer board.
How does laminate wood flooring compare to tile flooring?

Is it necessary to prime plywood floor before installing ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles are normally laid on a cement base. If the floor has any flexibility at all, the tiles will wind up cracking. But if you do have to install tiles on top of wood, then yes, the wood has to be sealed because the grout is mixed with water, which can damage unsealed wood.
