The wall is 85 ft x 6 ft = 510 square feet (face area)

One block is 8 inches by 16 inches = 2/3 ft x 4/3 ft = 8/9 square foot.


Divide 510 by (8/9) = 510 x (9/8) = 573.75.


574 blocks. Allow a few extra formistakes!


By the way, check that there will be an even number of rows: 6 ft high = 6x12 = 72 inches. 72/8 = 9. OK, there will be 9 rows of blocks.

How many 80 pound bags of mortar do I need to lay 1000 8X16 block?

To determine how many 80-pound bags of mortar you'll need for 1,000 8x16 blocks, you'll first need to calculate the total number of joints. Typically, a standard block wall will require about 0.25 cubic feet of mortar per block. For 1,000 blocks, this equates to approximately 250 cubic feet of mortar. Since an 80-pound bag of mortar covers about 0.6 cubic feet, you'll need roughly 417 bags of mortar (250 ÷ 0.6 = 416.67).

How many blocks would equal 450 feet?

To determine how many blocks would equal 450 feet, we need to know the length of a standard city block. In most cities in the United States, a city block is typically around 300 feet long. Therefore, to cover a distance of 450 feet, you would need 1.5 city blocks (450 feet / 300 feet per block = 1.5 blocks).


How much sand do you need to cover a 8x16 area at 1 inch thick?

To calculate the volume of sand needed to cover an 8x16 area at 1 inch thick, first convert the dimensions to feet: 8 feet by 16 feet. The area is 128 square feet. Since 1 inch is 1/12 of a foot, the volume of sand required is 128 square feet multiplied by 1/12 foot, which equals approximately 10.67 cubic feet of sand.

How many blocks to build a 2ft high wall 10ft long?

To determine the number of blocks needed to build a 2-foot high wall that is 10 feet long, you first need to know the dimensions of the blocks. Assuming standard concrete blocks are 16 inches long and 8 inches high, each block covers 1.33 square feet. The wall's area is 20 square feet (10ft x 2ft), so you would need approximately 15 blocks (20 square feet ÷ 1.33 square feet per block) to complete the wall.


How man blocks in 450 feet?

The number of blocks in 450 feet depends on the length of each block. In many urban areas, a standard city block is approximately 1/10 of a mile, or about 528 feet. Therefore, if we consider a city block to be around 528 feet, 450 feet would be roughly 0.85 blocks. If the block length varies, you'll need to adjust the calculation accordingly.
