1. Area = length x width

A = 38 trios x 26 trios

A = 38 x 26 = 988 trios

988 x 3 = 2,964 bricks

2. Subtract 1868 from 1887= 19 yrs.

Answer- part one: 19 yrs.

To solve part 2 of the problem, find out how many years she lived - 1943 minus 1868 = 75 years.

Put 19 over 75 to make a fraction.

Change that to a decimal and then a percent.

19/75 = 0.25333....

This changes to 25.3% of her life.

3. 1943 - 1868 = 75 yrs.

75/100, 75%, .75%, .75

Answer = 75 years, 3/4 , 75%, 0.75

4. First change the dimensions to inches and then use the volume formula - Volume = length x width x height

V = lwh

V= (120 in.)(111 in.) (10 in.)

Answer= 133,200 cubic in.
