How many bricks are required to construct a road 300m long and 5•6m wide, if each of the brick is 30cm in length and 16cm in breadth?
--------------
Area of the road:: 300*5.6 = 1680 sq meters
-----
Area of one brick:: (30/100)(16/100) = 480/10000 = 0.048 sq meters
---
# of bricks = 1680 sq meters/0.048 sq meters = 35000
==========
