How many 16x16 tiles are needed for a 300 sq ft floor?

How many 20X6 inch tiles dose it take to cover 900 square feet?
20 inches = 20/12 ft = 1.67ft

How many 16 x 16 tiles are needed to cover 320 sq ft?
To make it easy to calculate I am going to convert everything to inches assuming each tile is 16 inches by 16 inches.
I can imagine a 320 sq. ft. room as a 16 feet by 20 feet room. (16 x 20 = 320)
16 feet = 192 inches and 20 feet = 240 inches
The area of the room in inches is 192 x 240 = 46080 sq. inches
Each tile is 16 x 16 = 256 sq. inches
Divide the area of the room by the area of 1 tile: 46080/256 = 180
