David is making a wall out of bricks. Each brick is 2/3 foot long. There are 20 bricks lined up end to end to make the wall. What is the total length of the wall in inches?

Respuesta :

The total length of wall is 160 inches

Solution:

Given that,

[tex]Length\ of\ each\ brick = \frac{2}{3}\ foot[/tex]

1 feet = 12 inches

Therefore,

[tex]Length\ of\ each\ brick = \frac{2}{3} \times 12\ inches = 8\ inches[/tex]

There are 20 bricks lined up end to end to make the wall

To find: Total length of wall in inches

[tex]Total\ length\ of\ wall = \text{length of each brick } \times \text{ total number of bricks}[/tex]

Thus we get,

[tex]Total\ length\ of\ wall = 8 \times 20\\\\Total\ length\ of\ wall = 160\ inches[/tex]

Thus total length of wall is 160 inches
