Q. Peter is building a brick house. He built 33 walls using 803803 bricks each. Another wall used 998998. A fireplace took 247247 and the chimney took 452452. Peter works out that he has used a total of 2,5002,500 bricks so far. Does that sound about right?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Yes.\newline(B)No, it is much too high.\newline(C)No, it is much too low.
  1. Calculate total bricks for walls: Calculate the total number of bricks used for the three walls. Each wall used 803803 bricks, so multiply 803803 by 33.
  2. Add bricks for fourth wall: Add the bricks used for the fourth wall to the previous total. The fourth wall used 998998 bricks.
  3. Add bricks for fireplace: Add the bricks used for the fireplace to the current total. The fireplace used 247247 bricks.
  4. Add bricks for chimney: Add the bricks used for the chimney to the current total. The chimney used 452452 bricks.
