Solution

We have,

Length of the wall

Height of the wall

Thickness of the wall

Dimension of the brick is

We need to find the number of bricks

Here,

Volume of the wall,

Dimensions of the brick are,

So, number of bricks in the wall,

As this is not an integer, we should take least integer greater than.

So, we need bricks to build the wall.
