Question

Eight bricks are laid end to end along the edge of a flower bed. Each brick is 8 1/2 inches long. How long is the row of bricks in feet

Answer 1

Eight times 8 1/2 inches comes out to 8(8 1/2 inches) = 8(17/2) = 68 inches.

Answer 2

Answer: The length of row of bricks is 68 inches.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bricks = 8

Length of bricks =
`8(1)/(2)=(17)/(2)`

So, Length of the row of bricks is given by

Number of bricks × length of brick

`8* (17)/(2)\\\\=4* 17\\\\=68\ inches`

Hence, the length of row of bricks is 68 inches.
