How many 4 inche bricks are needed to build a walk 6ft wide and 24 feet long?

If a standard brick is 4 inches wide by 8 inches long, you'd need 648 of those bricks. Here's the way you'd calculate it: First, since your bricks are measured in inches, I'd convert your 6 foot by 24 foot measurements from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches per foot, 6 x 12 = 72 inches and 24 x 12 = 288 Then you can calculate the total area you are going to be laying brick in (in inches), so multiply 72 x 288 = 20736 square inches The area of each of your bricks is 4 inches by 8 inches, so 8 x 4 = 32 square inches per brick If your total area you want to brick is 20736 square inches, and each brick is 32 square inches, just divide 20736 by 32... which gives you 648. :)

How many bricks would be required to edge a garden that is 37 feet long?

That would depend on the length of bricks that are used. Since the average brick is about seven inches long, I'll use that length to calculate how many bricks you will need. First, multiply the length of your garden by 12 to get the length in inches: 37 x 12 = 444 inches. Then divide the 444 by 7 (the length of the bricks) which will give you 63.43. So the number of bricks you will need (if they are 7 in long) will be 64. If the bricks are a different length, just use the same formula to calculate how many you will need, or post a message to me on my message board, and I will calculate it for you.

How many bricks equal a square foot?

Of course it depends on the size of the brick. But you can still do it by the following steps. 1. Let y = square inches of one brick (compute length X width). 2. # bricks = 144 / y ( the number of square inches in a sq. foot divided by size of a single brick) For example suppose a brick is 2 by 8, then y = 16. 144/16 = 9 so you'd have 9 bricks in a square foot. If you think about it, lay the 9 bricks side by side they'd cover an area that is 18 x 8 =144, the same number of inches in a 12 in x 12 in area. If you are going to use mortar between the bricks, remember to allow for that in your computation of the brick size..
