Question

Katie is building a rectangular wall. The wall will be 332 bricks wide and 39 bricks tall. She has 15,000 bricks. Does she have enough bricks to build the wall? Explain. Show your work in the box.

Answer 1

Katie has enough bricks because it only takes 12,948 bricks to build the wall. To get 12,948, you will multiply 332 by 39. So basically you are multiplying the width by how tall it is.

Answer 2

12,948 bricks are required to make the rectangular wall. Yes, Katie have enough bricks to make the wall

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Total number of bricks Katie have = 15,000

Length of the rectangular wall = 39 bricks

Width of the rectangular wall = 332 bricks

Total number of bricks required to build the wall =

`\text{Length of the wall}* \text{Width of the wall}\\= 39* 332\\= 12948`

Thus, 12,948 bricks are required to make the rectangular wall.

Yes, Katie have enough bricks to make the wall. In fact she have some extra bricks.

Katie have (15000 - 12948) = 2,052 extra bricks.
