Tom is also tiling a floor.

The floor is a rectangle with length 600 cm and width 240 cm
Each tile is a square with side 40 cm

Tom uses this method to work out the number of tiles he needs.

Number of tiles that will fit along the length = 600 ÷ 40
                                                                              = 15
Number of tiles that will fit along the width = 240 ÷ 40
                                                                             = 6
Total number of tiles needed = 15 + 6
                                                   = 21


Give a reason why Tom’s method is wrong.
