Answer

2065 bricks

Work Step by Step

Create a proportion using ratios of bricks:linear feet. $\frac{826\ bricks}{14\ ft}=\frac{x\ bricks}{35\ ft}$ Set the product of the means equal to the product of the extremes and solve for the variable. $14 \times x=826\times 35$ $14x=28910$ $14x\div14=28910\div14$ $x=2065$
