edwardo wants to make a walk out of paving bricks. he has enough bricks to pave 26 square yards. how long can the walk be if it is 4 feet wide? (3 feet = 1 yard)

Solution

given,

3feet = 1yard

edwardo has enough bricks to pave 26 square yards = 26*9 square feet = 234 square feet

so, this is the area of walk he can pave .

given , width of the walk = 4 feet

we know,

length * width = area

length *4 = 234

length = 234/4= 58.5 feet

therefore,

edwardo can pave a walk of length = 58.5 feet
