#"or give an approximation to the answer"#

#"a reasonable approximation would be to calculate"#
#"the volume of the bath and brick and divide them"#

#"volume ( V ) of a cuboid is"#

#• V_(color(red)"cuboid")=lbh#

#V_(color(red)"bathtub")=60xx30xx18=32400" cubic inches"#

#V_(color(red)"brick")=4xx2xx8=64" cubic inches"#

#"number of bricks "=32400/64~~507#

#"the accurate method would be to calculate how many"#
#"bricks could be fitted in along the length, breadth and"#
#"height of the bathtub"#
