If 250 bricks are used to build a wall of 15 ft high then, there is total 1250 bricks will be used to build a wall that is 75 ft high.
Proportion:
A proportion is an equation between two ratios or rates that is useful in solving for a single unknown.
We have given that,
It takes 250 bricks to build a 15 ft high wall. Let us consider x bricks , is needed for a 75 ft high wall, use the ratio given for a 15 ft high wall and equate it to the ratio for the unknown number of bricks for a 75-ft high wall.
In making proportions, make sure that the rate on one side has the same units as the rate on the other as shown :
x/75 = 250/15
=> 15 × x = 250 ×75
=> x = 250×75/15
=> x = 1250
Thus, it will take 1250 bricks to build a wall 75 feet high.
