Note first that
\[1 m^2 =10000 cm^2. \]
Hence
\[129 m^2= 129 \times 10000=1290000 cm^2.\]
Now
\[\frac{1290000}{5.8}=222413.793103.\]
So $222413$ such tiles can fit into an area of 129 $m^2$.
To determine the number of 5.8 cm² tiles that can fit into an area of 129 m², we need to convert the units to be consistent. Let's convert the area from square meters to square centimeters first.
1 square meter = 10,000 square centimeters
So, 129 m² = 129 * 10,000 cm² = 1,290,000 cm².
Now, we can calculate the number of 5.8 cm² tiles that can fit into this area by dividing the total area by the area of each tile:
Number of tiles = Total area / Area of each tile
Number of tiles = 1,290,000 cm² / 5.8 cm²
Using division, we find that approximately 222,414 tiles can fit into the given area.
