Reduce the ratio of the tile size from 16 x 24 to 2 x 3 to make the calculations easier and consider ways to sum the values to create equal dimensions.
Three vertically oriented tiles would result in a dimension 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 units wide, and two corresponding sides of three units each would result in an equivalent dimension of 3 + 3 = 6 units long.
Thus, we could create a square in a minimum of 6 tiles, which matches Choice A.
