A 1 to 250
B 251 to 500
C 501 to 750
D 751 to 1000
E >1000

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The dimensions of bricks are in inches so convert foot into inches.

1 foot = 12 in

4 feet = 48 in

8 feet = 96 in

To calculate the number of bricks that fit into space we divide the space's volume by the volume of 1 brick.

[tex]\text{Number of bricks in space}=\dfrac{12\times 48 \times96}{3\times 4 \times8}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Number of bricks in space}=576[/tex]

Hence, 576 bricks can be fit into a space.

Therefore the correct option is B.
