Detailed Explanation
\(3 \frac{\mathrm{1} }{\mathrm{2}}\text{ }feet \times 12\text{ }in/ft = 42\text{ }inches\); \(1 \frac{\mathrm{3} }{\mathrm{4}}\text{ }inches = 1.75\text{ }inches\)
\( \frac{\mathrm{42\text{ }inches} }{\mathrm{1.75\text{ }inches}} = 24\text{ }bricks\).
\( \frac{\mathrm{42\text{ }inches} }{\mathrm{1.75\text{ }inches}} = 24\text{ }bricks\).
