First find the volume of the wall.
V = LWH
Find the volume of each brick.
Then convert that to cubic centimeters.
1 cubic meter = 1 000 000 cubic centimeters
volume of wall is 2.7
vol of each brick= 900
900,000,000
Is that how many bricks? Sounds like alot. Am I missing a step
Right -- the volume of the wall is 2.7 cubic meters = 2,700,000 cubic centimeters
Each brick's volume is 900 cubic centimeters.
Here's your mistake. You need to divide, not multiply.
2,700,000 / 900 = 3,000 bricks
got it. thanks again
:-) You're welcome.
