The answer is: " 112 bricks " .
________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________

Volume of each brick: (14 in) * (8 in) * (5 in) = 560 in³ .
_______________________________________________
Now:

16800 in³ ÷ 560 in³ = 16800 ÷ 560 = 1680 ÷ 56 = 112.
