Answer:

109.5 sq inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find out the area of the tiles i.e

->If three tiles measured 3 inches 3 2 1 × inches

Area of each tile: 3 x 3 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 10 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq inch.

Area of three tiles : 3 x 10 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 31 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq inch

->If six tiles measured 4 inches 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] inches

Area of each tile: 4 x  3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  = 13 sq inch.

Area of six tiles: 6 x 13 = 78 sq inch.

Therefore,  the area of the whole mosaic in square inches can be calculated by taking the sum of areas of three and six tiles

31 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq inch + 78 sq inch= 109.5 sq inch
