You are tiling the floor of a 6-foot by 8-foot bathroom. The sink occupies a 3-foot by 2-foot area and the bathtub occupies a 5-foot by 3-foot area. You do not need to tile the area occupied by the sink or bathtub. How much of the floor, in square feet, do you need to tile?

The floor, in square feet, you need to tile is

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes.

To solve this problem we need to calculate the areas of the sink and the bathtub and subtract it from the the area of the the bathroom, the result is the amount of space you need to tile

Step one

Area of sink

Area of bathtub

Area of bathroom

Step two

To calculate the area we need to tile

let us subtract the areas of the bathtub and the sink from the bathroom we have

.632

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
