Answer to Problem 30E
6 inches.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Length of table = 30 in.
Width of table = 24 in.
Calculation:
The size of largest tile she can use will be equal to GCF of 30 and 24.
Now, prime factors of 30 and 24 are
Therefore GCF of 30 and 24 =
Hence size of largest square tile will be 6 inches.
b.
