A footpath 16 m 80 cm long should be paved with stones 60 cm long. How many stones are needed?

28 stone bricks are necessary for this footpath.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets start by remembering that 1m has 100cm, therefore 1m = 100cm.

That being said we transform everything to centimeters since the stones are in centimeters.

16 m + 80 cm = 16 × (100 cm) + 80 cm

1600 + 80 = 1680 cm.

If every stone is 60 cm long, we need to divide our footpath length by the stone length to know how many stones are needed, therefore:

1680 cm / 60 cm = 28 bricks!!

I hope it helps :)

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
