The length of a driveway is 32 feet and the width is 16 feet. How many bricks would it take to fill the driveway? *One brick is 7 inches in length and 3 1/2 inches in width.*
==========================
Convert the feet to inches, then find the area is sq inches.
Divide that by the area of 1 brick.
========================
The answer will be mathematically correct, but will ignore the mortar between the bricks.
