You plan to construct a brick wall measuring 15 ft in length, 6 ft high, and 1 ft in width. if a brick measures 6 in x 4 in x 2 in, how many bricks will you need?

3,240 bricks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of bricks.

We have been given that you plan to construct a brick wall measuring 15 ft in length, 6 ft high, and 1 ft in width. A brick measures 6 in x 4 in x 2 in.

First of all, we will convert the dimensions of wall from feet into inches.

1 feet = 12 inch

15 feet = 12*15 inch = 180 inch

6 feet = 12*6 inch = 72 inch

We know that volume of brick wall will be equal to volume of 'n' bricks, so we can set an equation to find 'n' as:

Therefore, you will need 3,240 bricks.
