The correct Answer is:
To determine how many bricks are required for a wall, we need to calculate the volume of the wall and the volume of a single brick, and then divide the volume of the wall by the volume of one brick. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the dimensions of the brick from centimeters to meters:** - Length of the brick = 20 cm = 20/100 m = 0.2 m - Width of the brick = 10 cm = 10/100 m = 0.1 m - Height of the brick = 7.5 cm = 7.5/100 m = 0.075 m 2. **Calculate the volume of one brick:** \[ \text{Volume of one brick} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \] \[ \text{Volume of one brick} = 0.2 \, \text{m} \times 0.1 \, \text{m} \times 0.075 \, \text{m} = 0.0015 \, \text{m}^3 \] 3. **Convert the dimensions of the wall from meters to cubic meters:** - Length of the wall = 20 m - Width of the wall = 2 m - Height of the wall = 0.75 m 4. **Calculate the volume of the wall:** \[ \text{Volume of the wall} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \] \[ \text{Volume of the wall} = 20 \, \text{m} \times 2 \, \text{m} \times 0.75 \, \text{m} = 30 \, \text{m}^3 \] 5. **Calculate the number of bricks required:** \[ \text{Number of bricks} = \frac{\text{Volume of the wall}}{\text{Volume of one brick}} \] \[ \text{Number of bricks} = \frac{30 \, \text{m}^3}{0.0015 \, \text{m}^3} = 20000 \] ### Final Answer: You will need **20,000 bricks** to construct the wall.
