Karen is going to cover this part of the wall with tiles.
Each rectangular tile is 15 cm by 7.5 cm.

Tiles are sold in packs.

There are 9 tiles in each pack.

Karen divides the area of the wall by the area of a tile to work out an estimate for the
number of tiles she needs to buy.

(a) Use Karen’s method to work out an estimate for the number of packs of tiles she
needs to buy.
