You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the exact height of a brick wall that is 44 courses high, when three courses of brick, plus their mortor joints are 8 inches (203.3 mm) high?
-----------------
Find out how many "three courses of brick" there are in 44 courses:
44/3 is the answer
----------------------
since each of these is 8 inches high, multiply 44/3 by 8 to get:
117 1/3 inches or (44/3)*203.3 mm = 2981.733 mm
