A path is 3 feet wide and is paved with square bricks that are three inches wide. How many bricks wide is the path.

(12 * 3) / 3 = ?

12

To find out how many bricks wide the path is, we need to convert all measurements to the same unit (inches or feet).

Since the path width is given in feet and the brick width is given in inches, let's convert the path width to inches.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can multiply the path width by 12 to convert it to inches:

Path width in inches = 3 feet * 12 inches/foot = 36 inches

Now, we can find out how many bricks can fit in the path by dividing the path width (in inches) by the brick width (in inches).

Number of bricks wide = Path width in inches / Brick width in inches = 36 inches / 3 inches = 12 bricks

Therefore, the path is 12 bricks wide.

To find out how many bricks wide the path is, we need to convert the units to be consistent.

1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, the width of the path in inches is 3 feet x 12 inches/foot = 36 inches.

Now, we can divide the width of the path (36 inches) by the width of each brick (3 inches) to find out how many bricks wide the path is.

36 inches ÷ 3 inches = 12 bricks.

Therefore, the path is 12 bricks wide.
