How many bricks, each 3.75 in. wide × 8 in. long, are required to cover a patio 13 ft. 6 in. wide by 18 ft. 9 in. long?

**Step 1:** First, find the total width and length of the patio in inches.

**Step 1a:** Convert the portion of the width and length that is expressed in feet to inches.

- Width: 13 ft = 13 × 12 = ___ in
- Length: 18 ft = 18 × 12 = ___ in

Ab = (3.75/12)*(8/12) = 0.20833333 ft^2. = Area of each brick.
Ap = 18.75 * 13.5 = 253.125 Ft^2. = Area of patio.
Bricks = Ap/Ab = 253.125/0.20833=1215.

To cover a patio measuring 13 ft 6 in by 18 ft 9 in, a total of 1215 bricks, each measuring 3.75 in by 8 in, is required. This was calculated by converting dimensions to inches, finding the area of the patio, and then dividing by the area of one brick. The calculations were straightforward and involved basic math operations like conversion and multiplication.
