a builder needs to calculate the number if bricks needed to build a wall.The wall measure 5m 31cm and each brick measures 16cm.How many bricks are needed to build one layer of the wall?
5m 31vm equals 19 bricks

531/16 = 33.1875
To calculate the number of bricks needed to build one layer of the wall, we need to determine the length of the wall in terms of bricks.
First, convert the measurement of the wall from meters and centimeters to centimeters.
5 meters and 31 centimeters = (5 x 100) + 31 = 500 + 31 = 531 centimeters
Next, divide the total length of the wall by the length of each brick to find the number of bricks needed.
531 centimeters ÷ 16 centimeters = 33.1875
Since we cannot have a fraction of a brick, we need to round up to the nearest whole number because you cannot have a fraction of a brick. Therefore, you will need 34 bricks to build one layer of the wall.
