MILD: Bonnie’s neighbor wants a frame that is 16 tiles along each side. How many tiles will she
need?

To find out how many tiles Bonnie’s neighbor will need for a frame that is 16 tiles along each side, you can calculate the total number of tiles by multiplying the number of tiles on each side. Since a frame has four sides, the formula would be: 16 tiles (length) + 16 tiles (width) - 4 (to avoid double-counting the corners) = 48 tiles needed.

A fun trick to remember: imagine the frame is a giant picture! Just as you wouldn’t want to count the corners of your favorite photo twice, this helps you avoid those pesky overlaps while counting those tiles!
