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:

1,436

Explanation:

wall: 14.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 = 39.875 cubic ft

convert to cubic in by X 1728 = 68,904 ci

brick: 6 x 4 x2 = 48 ci

68,904 / 48 = 1,435.5 round up to 1,436

14.5 x 5.5x 0.5 = 39.875 cubic feet for the wall

brick = .5 x .333 x 0.167 = 0.0278 cubic feet rounded to 0.03

39.875/0.03 = 1329.16

so approximately 1330 bricks are required.


This could be a little different depending on how you round everything off
