Jenny has 50 square tiles. She arranged the tiles into a rectangular array of 4 rows. How many tiles will be left?
If she arranges the tiles into 4 rows of 12 she will have 2 tiles left
2 square tiles will be left.
Rectangle has four sides where each opposite side is equal to the other. Since, there are 4 rows.
Then, 50/4 = 12.50 only 12 tiles can be placed per row to retain the rectangular shape.
124 = 48 tiles will be used in total
50 - 48 = 2 tiles in excess.
