Answer:

Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the bathroom = [tex]18\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}~feet = \displaystyle\frac{75}{4}~feet[/tex]

Length of one tile = [tex]1\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}~feet = \displaystyle\frac{3}{2}~feet[/tex]

Number of tiles required to cover this section =

Formula:

[tex]\text{Number of tiles } = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of bathroom}}{\text{Length of tile}}[/tex]

[tex]= \displaystyle\frac{\frac{75}{4}}{\frac{3}{2}} = \displaystyle\frac{75\times 2}{3\times 2} = 25[/tex]

Thus, Natasha requires 25 tiles to cover this area of the bathroom.
