Question

Find the number of bricks of dimension 24 x 12 x 8 cm each that would be required to make a wall 24 m long, 8 m high and 60 cm thick.

Answer 1

Answer: 5000 bricks

Given dimensions:

Wall length = 24 m

Wall height = 8 m

Wall thickness = 60 cm (convert to meters: 0.6 m)

Brick dimensions:

Length = 24 cm (convert to meters: 0.24 m)

Width = 12 cm (convert to meters: 0.12 m)

Height = 8 cm (convert to meters: 0.08 m)

Wall volume = Length × Height × Thickness

Wall volume = 24 m × 8 m × 0.6 m

Wall volume = 11.52 cubic meters

Brick volume = Length × Width × Height

Brick volume = 0.24 m × 0.12 m × 0.08 m

Brick volume = 0.002304 cubic meters

Number of bricks = Total wall volume / Volume of each brick

Number of bricks = 11.52 cubic meters / 0.002304 cubic meters/brick

Number of bricks ≈ 5000

Approximately 5000 bricks of dimensions 24 x 12 x 8 cm each would be required to build the wall
