QUIZ

a. A concrete hollow block (CHB) measures 14” x 8”. If the wall is 4.0 m high and 5.0 m long,
how many pieces of this CHB shall be used if there will be one-inch concrete laying between
each layer?

Solution:
Add one-inch to the measured concrete hollow block
14” + 1” = 15” 8”+ 1” = 9”
Then multiply 15” and 9”
15” x 9” = 135”

Convert the measurement of the wall into inches (1 m = 39.37 in)

4.0 m = 157.48 in 5.0 m = 196.85 in
Then multiply
157.48 in x 196.85 in = 30999.938 in

Divide 30999.938 in to 135 in = 229.62/230

230 pieces of CHB shall be used
b. A box measures 3.0 ft x 2.0 ft x 1.50 ft. Each book measures 25.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 5.0 cm.
What is the maximum number of this books that this box can contain?

Solution:
Convert the measurement of the box into cm (1ft = 30.48 cm)
3.0 ft = 91.44 cm 2.0 ft = 60.96 cm 1.50 ft = 45.72 cm
Then multiply the 3
 91.44 cm x 60.96 cm x 45.72 cm = 254851.6193 cm
Multiply also the measured books
25.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 5.0 cm = 1250 cm
Divide 254851.6193 cm to 1250 cm = 203.88/204
204 is the maximum number of books that the box can contain
