Question

You are laying bricks in a path. The bricks are 6 inches by 3 inches. The path is 3 feet wide. To build the path, you need 912 bricks. How long is the path?

Answer 1

find total area
6 times 3=18
18 times 912=16416
total area=legnth times width
total area/width=legnth

16416in^2=total area
width=3ft=3*12in=36in
16416/36=legnth in inches=456inches=38ft

teh path is 38ft long

Answer 2

You would use 6 bricks in each row to get 3 ft wide.
Dividing 912 by 6 you get 152 rows.
Each row would be 3 inches in length.
152 * 3 = 456 inches long or 38 ft long would be the length of the path.
