`10`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Area of smaller wall)`

`= 2 xx 3`

`= 6\ text(m²)`

 

`text(S)text(ince 4 litres of paint are needed to)`

`text(paint the small wall:)`

`=>\ text(Paint needed for 1 m²)`

`= 4/6`

`= 2/3\ text(litre)`

`=>\ text(Area of larger wall)`

`= 3 xx 5`

`= 15\ text(m²)`

 

`:.\ text(Paint needed)` `= 15 xx 2/3`
  `= 10\ text(litres)`

Natalie is building a brick wall 9 metres high.

The height of a column of 15 bricks is 1.8 metres as shown.
 

 
How many bricks will Natalie need for a wall 9 metres high?

Show Answers Only

`75\ text(bricks)` 

Show Worked Solution

`text(Let)\ \ h=\ text(height of 1 brick)`

`15 xx h` `=1.8`
 `h` `= 1.8/15`
  `=0.12\ text(m)`
   

`text(If the wall is 9 metres high,)`

`:.\ text(Number of bricks needed)`

`=9/0.12`

`=75\ text(bricks)`

`:.\ text(Number of gray tiles)`

`= 19 xx 4`

`= 76`
