New question: A sidewalk is built6 bricks wide by laying each brick side by side. How many inches wide is the sidewalk if each brick measures 3 1/8" wide? Simplify.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be 6 times 3 1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got the hang of it last time... Type your answer, and we'll confirm :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6/1*25/8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 150/8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here's the rub, what do i do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got it right the last time. divide 150 by 8, which is 18, and the remainder is 3, so it'll be 18 3/4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG! I got one right!!! There's a first!
