The dimensions of the bathroom floor is given as 2 yards by 3 yards.
Then
The area of the bathroom floor in question = (2 * 3) square yards
   = 6 square yards
We already know that
1 square yard = 9 square feet
So
The area of the bathroom floor in question = (6 * 9) square feet
   = 54 square feet
Area covered by each custom tiles = 11/2 square feet
Then
Number of tiles required to cover the bathroom floor = 54/(11/2)
   = (54 * 2)/11
   = 108/11
   = 9.81
So the number of tiles required to cover the bathroom flooring is 10. Since fraction of tiles cannot be bought, so 10 tiles are required.
