Question

Eric created a rectangular patio using one foot square paving stones which are sold in batches by the dozen. The patio measures 7 feet by 8 feet. How many batches of paving stone did Eric need?

Answer 1

To figure out the answer, you must first find the area. To do this, multiply the length times the width. In this case, that is 7 feet times 8 feet. That equals 56 feet squared. Because the square paving stones are 1 foot squared, the answer is 56 paving stones in all.
