12 x 14 =168 square feet.
If the pavers were 1 foot by 1 foot we would need 168 pavers
BUT.. your paver is 8 inches which is 8/12 or 2/3 of a foot.
It is 2/3 times 2/3 or 4/9 square ft
168 divided by 4/9
which is the same as 168 times 9/4
That will get you to 378.
A patio measures 12 feet by 14 feet. How many 8-inch-square paving stones are needed to pave the patio?
