Question

The dimensions of a brick are 24 cm and 12 cm and 8 cm how many bricks will be required to build a wall 24 metre long and 8m high 60 CM thick if 10% of the wall is filled with mortar​

Answer 1

Answer:

Firstly we'll convert each of them into cm.

So, new dimensions of the wall are,

2400cm*800cm*60cm

Total volume of the wall= 2400*800*60 cm³

=115,200,000cm³

But 10% of this volume is occupied by the mortar, hence we are left with it's 90% of volume.

Therefore, 115,200,000*90/100

=10,368,000 cm³ is the final volume of the wall.

Volume of the brick=24cm*12cm*8cm

=2,304cm³

Number of bricks= Volume of wall/Volume of bricks

=10,368,000/2, 304

=4500 bricks

Therefore 4500 bricks will be required.
