Asked by EmberShy

A contractor is building a rectangular walkway 3 1/3ft wide by 35ft long using square cement pavers. Each paver has an area if 4/9ft^2. What is the least number of pavers he needs to make the walkway?

Can someone explain?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Typo? 4/9ft^2.
Answered by EmberShy
No its not a typo 4/9ft squared that's what my book says

that's what the "^2" is
Answered by EmberShy
This actually the reason it confused me... Do you know?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Sorry -- but I don't understand. Logically it would be (4',9")^2.

Also -- the pavers are probably concrete, not cement, blocks.

I think you are correct with (4',9")^2 but I don't know.

Multiple 3 1/3 times 35

divide that answer by 4/9

I get 262.5 or 263
