How many 12x8 square feet tile will it take to cover 200 square feet?

Answer 1

Your question needs a better understanding

• a "square foot" is any shape that calculates to 144 sq inches
• a "Foot Square" would be a specific shape 12"x12" tile which also equals 144 sq inches
• since a 12" X 8" tile is really a Rectangle using the word "square" in the question is confusing.

I think you want to know a math problem answer,

so here is the formula

• 12" X8"= X (hint more than 90 less than 100)

• 144 sq inches in a sq foot soooo

you can get there two ways...here is the easy way

• We know how many sq feet to cover=200

so when you figure out the "X" above the formula is

• 200 divided by X= # of tiles

(not in the real world but in math class this works. In the real world it depends on waste, breakage & the # of tiles in a carton)
