The ceramic tile company uses 32 tiles for each counter top it makes. About how many counter tops can it make from its last shipment of 1,486 tiles.
Answer: There are 46 counter tops it can make from its last shipment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of tiles for each counter = 32 tiles
Total number of tiles from its last shipment = 1486 tiles
We need to find the number of counter tops it can make.
so, Number of counter tops is given by
\(\frac{\text{Total number of tiles used in last shipment}}{\text{Number of tiles used in each counter}}\\\\=\frac{1486}{32}\\\\=46.43\\\\\approx 46\)
Hence, There are 46 counter tops it can make from its last shipment.
