    Each brick is 14 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 5 inches tall.if they used 16,800 in3 of concrete, how many bricks did they make?

    Volume of a brick (V) is:
    V = l * w * h

    Plugging in our brick measurements, we get:
    V = 14 * 8 * 5
    V = 560

    Calculate number of bricks:
    Number of Bricks = Total Volume / Volume of one Brick
    Number of Bricks = 16,800/560
    Number of Bricks =30
