The correct Answer is:
To find the number of bricks required to construct a wall with given dimensions, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Volume of the Wall The dimensions of the wall are given as: - Length = 3 m - Height = 1.5 m - Thickness = 0.4 m First, we need to convert these dimensions from meters to centimeters since the dimensions of the brick are in centimeters. 1 meter = 100 centimeters, so: - Length in cm = 3 m × 100 = 300 cm - Height in cm = 1.5 m × 100 = 150 cm - Thickness in cm = 0.4 m × 100 = 40 cm Now, we can calculate the volume of the wall: \[ \text{Volume of the wall} = \text{Length} \times \text{Height} \times \text{Thickness} = 300 \, \text{cm} \times 150 \, \text{cm} \times 40 \, \text{cm} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Volume of the wall} = 300 \times 150 \times 40 = 1,800,000 \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Volume of One Brick The dimensions of one brick are given as: - Length = 30 cm - Width = 15 cm - Height = 8 cm Now, we can calculate the volume of one brick: \[ \text{Volume of one brick} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} = 30 \, \text{cm} \times 15 \, \text{cm} \times 8 \, \text{cm} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Volume of one brick} = 30 \times 15 \times 8 = 3600 \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of Bricks Required To find the number of bricks required, we divide the volume of the wall by the volume of one brick: \[ \text{Number of bricks} = \frac{\text{Volume of the wall}}{\text{Volume of one brick}} = \frac{1,800,000 \, \text{cm}^3}{3600 \, \text{cm}^3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Number of bricks} = \frac{1,800,000}{3600} = 500 \] ### Final Answer The number of bricks required to construct the wall is **500**. ---
