Mortar worksheet

1. Bags of mortar mix: 24 bags

1. Divide the bricks by the bricks one bag lays to see how many bags the brick needs

   $\frac{450}{45}$$=10$

2. Divide the blocks by the blocks one bag lays to see how many bags the block needs

   $\frac{110}{10}$$=11$

3. Add both together, plus 10% extra for mortar that gets dropped or wasted

   $10+11\times 1+\frac{10}{100}$$=23.1$

4. Round up to whole bags, since the store sells only full bags

   $\text{round up}23.1$$=24$

5. Multiply the bags by the bag weight to see how much you'll haul

   $24\times 40$$=960\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}$

   $15.625+6.4286\times 1+\frac{15}{100}$$=25.3616$

4. Round up to whole bags, since the store sells only full bags

   $\text{round up}25.3616$$=26$
