Question

You plan to construct a brick wall measuring 14.5 ft. in length, 5.5 ft. high, and 0.5 ft. in width. If a brick measures 6 in. x 4 in. x 2 in., how many bricks will you need? (Remember to round up.)

Answer 1

Answer: There are 1436 bricks that he will need to make a brick wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of a brick wall is given by

Length = 14.5 feet

Width = 0.5 feet

Height = 5.5 feet

Dimensions of a brick is given by

Length = 6 inch

Width = 4 inch

Height = 2 inch

We need to find the number of bricks :

So, Number of bricks is given by

$\text{ Number of bricks }=\frac{\text{ Volume of brick wall }}{\text{ Volume of brick}}\\\\=\frac{14.5\times 5.5\times 0.5\times 12\times 12\times 12}{6\times 4\times 2}\\\\=1435.5\\\\=1436$

Hence, there are 1436 bricks that he will need to make a brick wall.
