HI!!

Answer 3

first convert the feet to inches for the sidewalk
then figure out the area by multiplication

Answer 4

the area of the brick is easy enough, it is \(8\times 4=32\) square inches

Answer 5

yup u need to convert them

Answer 6

once you find the area of the sidewalk in square inches, divide the result by \(32\)

You have to convert 6ft and 24ft into inches so 6*12=72 and 24*12=288 and divide 72 by 6 and 288 by 24.
