The number of bricks that the bricklayer can lay in a 40-hour week is 6000 bricks.
Let the number of bricks that the bricklayer can lay in a 40-hour week be represented by x.
Based on the information given in the question, the equation to solve the question will be:
8/40 = 1200/x
Cross multiply
8 × x = 1200 × 40
x = (1200 × 40) / 8
x = 1200 × 5
x = 6000
Therefore, the number of bricks that the bricklayer can lay in a 40-hour week is 6000 bricks.
