A road $90 \mathrm{m}$ long and $10 \mathrm{m}$ wide is to be paved with tiles having length and breadth as $20 \mathrm{cm}$ and $7.5 \mathrm{cm}$ respectively. Find the number of tiles required to pave the road.

A room is $17 \mathrm{m}$ long and $10 \mathrm{m}$ wide. A square carpet of side $10 \mathrm{m}$ is to be laid on its floor. Find the area of the floor which will remain bare.

A paper sheet is $300 \mathrm{cm}$ long and $150 \mathrm{cm}$ wide. Envelopes from small sheets measuring $10 \mathrm{cm}$ and $3 \mathrm{cm}$ have to be made. Find the total number of envelopes that can be made from the big sheet.

The dimensions of a courtyard were measured with a meter stick and hence its area was found to be $400 \mathrm{sq} \mathrm{m}$. Later on it was detected that the length of the meter stick actually measures $90 \mathrm{cm}$ and not one metre. Find the correct area of the courtyard.
