Convert "3/4 ton" into pounds. Use the identity 2000 lb = 1 ton.
2000 lb 1500 lb
Then [(3/4) ton] * ---------------- = ----------------
1 ton 1
Now divide 1500 lb by 4 lb 14 oz. Note that 4 lb 14 oz = 4 14/16 lb, or
4 7/8 lb, or 4.875 lb.
Then, divide 1500 lb by
4.875 lb

1 brick
This comes out to 1500/4.875 bricks, or approx. 307 bricks.
