1. Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density
of 4358 drops/ft^2. There are 13 tiles/ft^2.
How many drops fall on each tile?
Answer in units of drops/tile




Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


what i did was to divide the amount of raindrops by the amount of tiles, (4358drops/ft^2)/(13tiles/ft^2)= 335.23 raindrops/tile. I'm not so sure if my result is the right one.

also, I think I have to divide, because is the only way of getting rid of my ft^2.
 
yes! it was right, thanks!
