.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number of used bricks is   5*9*9*4 - 12 = 1608.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area covered by all the used bricks is   1608*32 = 51456 square inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The length of the path is the area divided by the width,  which is  4 ft,  or  48 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So,  the length of the path is   \"51456%2F48\" = 1072 inches,   or   \"1072%2F12\" = 89\"1%2F3\" ft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER.     The length of the path is   89\"1%2F3\" ft.\r
