Task is to construct two brick columns of the dimensions shown on which an iron gate will eventually be hung. Because the bricks measure 8" long by 3 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" high, you decide to build each column by laying the bottom row of bricks as shown.

How many rows of bricks will it take to complete each column?
Answered by That's it?
The answer is 448. In the diagram that is not shown here but is shown in the HW, you have to take the area of the bottom row of bricks, and multiply that by two.
Answered by i hate math
multiply the height of the column (12") by inches in a foot (12")
144.5in is the height of the column, divided by 2.5 is 57.8

i'm doing this one right now and it's confusing me too, this is the best I got.
Answered by i hate math
448 is the area of ground covered by both columns
