How many 3 x 6 tiles are needed to cover 10 square feet?

Area of a 3 in * 6 in tile = 18 sq inches.

Area to be covered = 10 sq feet = 10*144 sq inches = 1440 sq inches.

Therefore, minimum number of tiles required = 1440/18 = 80 tiles.

That is the mathematical answer. In real life the number of tiles required will depend on the shape of the area to be covered and, possibly, its exact dimensions. It will depend on the extent to which offcuts can be used and on breakages.

How many 8x8 inch ceramic tile will you need to cover 443 square feet?

443 square feet = 443*12*12 = 63792 sq inches

Each tile = 8*8 = 64 sq inches

So minimum number of tiles required = 63792/64 = 996.75 or 997.

However, that assumes that almost all the offcuts can be used. In real life it would be sensible to have more tiles to allow for breakages and wastage.
