Problem: how many bricks 3.75 in. Wide × 8 in. Long are required to cover a patio 13 ft. 6 in. Wide by 18 ft 9 in. LonStep 1. First, find the total width & length of the patio in inches.
Step 1a. Convert the portion of width and length that is expressed in feet to inches. Width: 13 ft = 13 × ___ = ___in
Length: 18 ft = 18 × ____ = _____ in
Ab = (3.75/12)*(8/12) = 0.20833333 ft^2.
= Area of each brick.
Ap = 18.75 * 13.5 = 253.125 Ft^2. =
Area of patio.
Bricks = Ap/Ab = 253.125/0.20833=1215.

To convert feet to inches, you need to remember that there are 12 inches in 1 foot.
So for the width:
13 ft = 13 × 12 = 156 inches
And for the length:
18 ft = 18 × 12 = 216 inches
Therefore, the width of the patio in inches is 156 inches and the length is 216 inches.
To find the total width and length of the patio in inches, we need to convert the portions expressed in feet to inches.
To convert feet to inches, multiply by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot.
Step 1a:
Width: 13 ft
To convert 13 ft to inches, multiply by 12:
13 ft * 12 in/1 ft = 156 inches
Length: 18 ft
To convert 18 ft to inches, multiply by 12:
18 ft * 12 in/1 ft = 216 inches
So, the total width of the patio is 156 inches and the total length is 216 inches.
