Answer 1

To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.

Number of square feet = Total number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot

Number of square feet = 2.967×10^5 / 6.9

Number of square feet ≈ 4.30×10^4

Therefore, the answer is 4.3×10^4 (option D).
