Question 821347: The face of a concrete block measures 18 inches by 8 inches. To build a wall 10 feet high by 10 feet wide how many blocks would you need? Answer by josgarithmetic(39630) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use either all inches or all feet.
The wall would be 120 inches by 120 inches. This is 14400 square inches. Each concrete block is 18*8=144 square inches. How many of 144 are contained in 14400?
