Answer
View full question & answer→Given, lenght of room $= 4.5m,$ of room $= 4m$ and
size of title $= 15cm \times 10cm$
$\because$ Area of room $=l \times \mathrm{b}=4.5 \times 4=18 \mathrm{~m}^2=18 \times(100)^2 \mathrm{~cm}^2=180000 \mathrm{~cm}^2[\because 1 \mathrm{~m}=100 \mathrm{~cm}]$
$\therefore$ Area of $1$ title $=15\ c\ 10=150 \mathrm{CM}^2$
So, number of titles $=\frac{\text { Area of room }}{\text { Area of } 1 \text { title }}=\frac{180000}{150}=1200$
$\therefore$ Cost of covering the floor with title $= Rs. 4.50 \times 1200= Rs. 5400$
size of title $= 15cm \times 10cm$
$\because$ Area of room $=l \times \mathrm{b}=4.5 \times 4=18 \mathrm{~m}^2=18 \times(100)^2 \mathrm{~cm}^2=180000 \mathrm{~cm}^2[\because 1 \mathrm{~m}=100 \mathrm{~cm}]$
$\therefore$ Area of $1$ title $=15\ c\ 10=150 \mathrm{CM}^2$
So, number of titles $=\frac{\text { Area of room }}{\text { Area of } 1 \text { title }}=\frac{180000}{150}=1200$
$\therefore$ Cost of covering the floor with title $= Rs. 4.50 \times 1200= Rs. 5400$
