16" x 16" 1.777 square feet.
The area you need to fill is 63 square feet.
63 / 1.777 35.44, thus, mathematically, you will need 36 stepstones HOWEVER the true amount will vary depending on how you cut the edge slabs, and whether you make mistakes or not, i would advise getting an extra 10-ish stones to make sure you have enough, you can always find ornmental uses for the excess!
This is not so much a pure mathmatics problem as much as a practical question.
Think of it this way:
One stone is one foot four inches wide. Two stones equals two feet eight inches, three stones equal four feet. So, six stones wide by six stones long would make a pad 8'x8'.
You need a 9'x7' space filled. Six stones by six stones equals twelve stones. NowYou are twelve inches over on the 7' side and twelve inches under on the 9' side. If you cut true, you will need 17 stones. Take the 12" cut from the six stones on the 7' side and place them on the 9'foot side; this leaves a 12"x12" void in one corner that you will need to cut one more stone for.
This allows for no spacing between stones though.
To cover an area of 1 square foot with 1/2 inch of water, you would need 0.623 gallons of water.
10A 8 foot by 5 foot area would hold 24 four inch square tiles along the 8 foot side and 15 along the 5 foot side, so the total quantity of would be 360 four inch square tiles (24 x 15).
95 of them. Get 105 for breakage.
164
1,080 tiles exactly.
You would need exactly 36 pavers.
The question as posed is unanswerable. In order to compute the weight of an inch of water, one would have to know the volume, or area the one inch covers. (ie., a square foot of water one inch deep would weigh=X)
135 Always get extra for breakage.
Acre is the answer, it's the most different because it measures an area. Whereas mile, inch, and foot measure length.
Strictly by area, it would take 115.2 3x5 to cover the 36x48, but using whole cards it would take at least 120.
You would need about 1 cubic yard of topsoil to cover a 200 square foot area with 1 inch of soil.
A 12 inch 25 foot you beam would be between $5 and $8 worth in scrap.
