First you must change all measurements to one common unit of measurement.
Therefore, the dimensions of the concrete block need to be converted from INCHES (in) to FEET (ft).
To convert INCHES to FEET: Divide the number of INCHES by 12.
The dimensions of the concrete block now are:
Length = 1.33 ft
Width = 0.5 ft
Square footage = Lenght X Width
Now you can calculate how many concrete blocks are required to fill an area of 167 square feet.
1.33 ft X 0.5 ft = Total square footage of ONE concrete block
167 ft2 = Total square footage required
Let 'CB' = the number of concrete blocks
1.33 ft X 0.5 ft X CB = 167 ft2
0.665 ft2 X CB = 167 ft2
CB = 167 ft2 ÷ 0.665 ft2
CB = 251.13
251.13 concrete blocks are required to fill 167 ft2.
Therefore, you will require 252 concrete blocks in order to fill your 167 ft2 area.

There are 128 square inches in 8x16 inches. There are 144 square inches in a square foot. So, the side of an 8 x 16 block is a little smaller than a square foot. There are 0.89 square feet in the side of a 8 x 16 block
square foot of what, concrete, wood or paper or what
8 inch x 16 inch concrete block is actually 2/3 foot x 4/3 foot block Area of one block is 2/3 x 4/3 = 8/9 square feet Number of blocks in 310 square feet = (310)/(8/9) = (310) x (9/8) = 155 x 9/4 which is 1395/4 = 348.75 blocks
Assuming you are talking about a cubic yard of concrete then this will cover 81 square feet to a depth of 4 inches. This is how you work it out. A yard is 3 feet. so a square yard (3 feet by 3 feet) is 9 square feet. There are also 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard, which makes the cubic yard of concrete 36 inches high.Thus imagine you take your cubic yard of concrete and place it down once and saw of 4 inches from the base this will leave square 3 feet by 3 feet square feet of concrete with a depth of 4 inches when you lift the top bit off.So you need to know how many times you can place it down and cut off 4 inches. As the block is 36 inches high and 4 goes into 36 nine times this means you can cut the block into 9, 4 inch thick, 3 foot by 3 foot square slabs, which is the same as 81 square feet.
A yard of concrete is a measure of volume. A square foot is a measure of area. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet of stuff. (3x3x3)To relate volume to area you must extend the area over a third dimension. One square foot that is one foot deep will equal one cubic foot. (1x1x1)So, a yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet or 3 feet tall 3 feet wide 3 feet deep. concrete wieghs 150lbs per cubic foot 27cubic feet times 150 pounds is 4050 pounds. This is 1 cubic yard of concrete.
