A 36-m-long, 15-m-borad verandah is to be paved with stones, each measuring 6 dm by 5 d m. How many stones will be required?
Answers
Answer:
1800 stones
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: length of verandah = 36 m
breadth of verandah = 15 m
length of stone = 6 dm=0.6 m
breadth of stone = 5 dm= 0.5 m
area of verandah= area of rectangle
= l*b
= 36*15
= 540 m^2
area of 1 stone = area of rectangle
=l*b
=0.6*0.5
= 0.30 m^2
No. of stones required to pave the verandah = area of verandah ÷ area of 1 stone
= 540/0.3
= 1800
