Given :

Area of bathroom floor is 2yards × 3yards

So, Area of bathroom floor = 6 yards²

We know, 1 square yard = 9 Square feet

So, Area of floor (in feet²) = 6 × 9 feet²

= 54 feet²

Now, size of custom tile = 1½ or 3/2

So, Number of tiles required = 54/3 ×2

= 36 

 

Thus, 36 tiles are required to cover the floor.
