Question

Nick wants to pave the rectangular patio of his new house. The patio has length 5.25 metres and width 3 metres. He needs 81 bricks per square metre. How many bricks does Nick need for the whole patio?

Answer 1

To find the total number of bricks needed for the whole patio, we need to calculate the area of the patio and then multiply it by the number of bricks per square metre.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the patio, we need to multiply the length and the width of the patio. The length is given as 5.25 metres and the width is given as 3 metres. So, the area of the patio can be calculated as:

Area = Length x Width

Area = 5.25 m x 3 m

Area = 15.75 square meters

Now, we know that Nick needs 81 bricks per square metre. So, to find the total number of bricks needed, we can multiply the area of the patio by the number of bricks per square metre:

Total Bricks Needed = Area x Number of Bricks per square metre

Total Bricks Needed = 15.75 square meters x 81 bricks per square metre

Total Bricks Needed = 1273.75 bricks

Therefore, Nick needs approximately 1274 bricks for the whole patio.

Answer 2

1275.75 bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find the area of the rectangular patio:

(area of a rectangle=l*w)

5.25*3=15.75

there are 15.75 square meters in the patio

if there is 81 bricks per sq meter how many bricks are there for 15.75 square meters?

for the answer we have to multiply 81 with 15.75

so

81*15.5=1275.75
