Answer:

The number of blocks that will be needed to build the wall is 2500

Explanation:

The number of blocks that will be needed to build the wall is;


n = (volume of wall)/(volume of block) \\volume = l *b*h\\

given the dimensions of the block and wall as;

block = 22cm by 11cm by 7cm

wall = 5 1/2m long, 22cm thick and 3 1/2m high. = 550cm by 22cm by 350cm

substituting into the equation, we have;


n = (volume of wall)/(volume of block) \\volume = l *b*h\\\\n = (550*22*350)/(22*11*7) \\n = 2500

The number of blocks that will be needed to build the wall is 2500
