Eight times 8 1/2 inches comes out to 8(8 1/2 inches) = 8(17/2) = 68 inches.

Answer: The length of row of bricks is 68 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bricks = 8

Length of bricks = [tex]8\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{17}{2}[/tex]

So, Length of the row of bricks is given by

[tex]8\times \dfrac{17}{2}\\\\=4\times 17\\\\=68\ inches[/tex]

Hence, the length of row of bricks is 68 inches.
