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.) Total volume (to the nearest tenth) = cubic feet. The number of bricks =

We can use formula for volume = length x width x height.

Solving for the volume of brick wall, we have:

Volume = 14.5 x 5.5 x 0.5

Volume = 39.88 ft³

Solving for the volume of bricks, we have:

Volume = 6 x 4 x 2

Volume = 48 in³ x (1 foot/12 in) ³

Volume = 0.0278 ft³

Solving for the total number of bricks, we have:

Total number of bricks = 39.88 ft³ / 0.0278ft³

The total number of bricks = 1434.5

The answer is 1,435 bricks is needed.
