[tex]12\cdot18=216 \ ft^2\leftarrow\hbox{ area of the floor}\\ \frac{3}{4}\cdot2=\frac{3}{2}=1.5 \ ft^2 \leftarrow \hbox{area of a tile}\\\\ \frac{216}{1.5}=144 \Rightarrow A [/tex]
[tex] Area floor = 18 * 12 = 216 feet^2 [/tex]

[tex] Area tile = 2 * 3/4 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5 feet^2[/tex]


[tex] 216/1.5 = 144\\ So the answer is A).[/tex]
