Barb is going to cover a rectangle area 8 feet by 10 feet with rectangle paving blocks that are 4 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches to make a flat patio. what is the minimum number of paving blocks she will need if all the paving blocks will face the same direction?

Step-by-step explanation:

First, transform 8 feet and 10 feet into inches so we can work with the same measurements

8 * 12 = 96 in

10 * 12 = 120 in

Next find the patio rectangle area.

96 * 120 = 11520 in^2

Now find the paving block area

4 * 8 = 32 in^2

Now, find out how many paving blocks will go into the patio rectangle area.

11520 / 32 = 360

The minimum number is 360 paving blocks

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

it would be 4 over -2 divided by -1 over 3.

if you want a solution it would be 4

you flip it so it would be 4/-2 divided by 3/-1 then it would be 12/3 and you would simplify it to 4
