Answer:
<h2> In 8 hours he will set 1200 bricks</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we are expected to estimate the number of bricks he can set in 8 hours.
let us convert hours to minutes we have
60 min make 1 hour
x min make 8 hours
cross multiply
x= 60*8
x= 480 min
We are assuming the same rate with which he sets 2.5 brick is the same as the rate with which he will set bricks for the 8 hours windows
so if the bricklayer sets
2.5 bricks in 1min
y bricks in 480 min
Cross multiply we have
y=2.5*480
y= 1200 bricks
hence in 8 hours, he will set 1200 bricks
I believe the answer is C
