ASAP! Let us consider a rather routine problem of laying a brick patio. ENGLISH SYSTEM Problem: How many bricks 3.75 in. wide x 8 in. long are required to cover a patio 16 ft. 3 in. wide by 19 ft. 8 in. long? Step 1. First, find the total width and length of the patio in inches. Step 1a. Convert the portion of width and length that is expressed in feet to inches: width: 16 ft. = 16 x ? = ? in. length: 19 ft. = 19 x ? = ? in. Step 1b. Add these values to the portion of the width and length of the patio expressed in inches to find totals: total width: ? in. + 3 in. = ? in. total length: ? in. + 8 in. = ? in. Step 2. Find the area of the patio in square inches by multiplying its total width by its total length: ? in. x ? in. = ? in.² Step 3. Find the area of each brick in square inches by multiplying its width by its length: ? in. x ? in. = ? in.² Step 4. Find the number of bricks needed by dividing the patio area by the brick area (round up to the nearest whole brick): ?/? = ? bricks
