# Step-by-Step Solution
## 1. Wall Volume
**Wall Dimensions**
- Length(L\ = 5 m
- Height (\(H\)) = 3 m
- Thickness (\(T\)) = .2 m
**Wall Volume (\(V_{wall}\)):**
\[
V_{wall} = L \times H \times T = 5 \times 3 \times .2 = 3~\text{m}^3
\]
---
## 2. Brick Volume (with Mortar)
**Brick Size (without mortar):**
- Length = 190 mm = .19 m
- Width = 90 mm = .09 m
- Height = 90 mm = .09 m
**Mortar Joint:** 10 mm = .01 m (applies to each face)
**Brick Size (with mortar):**
- Length = \(.19 + .01 = .20\) m
- Width = \(.09 + .01 = .10\) m
- Height = \(.09 + .01 = .10\) m
**Volume of 1 Brick (with mortar):**
\[
V_{brick} = .20 \times .10 \times .10 = .002~\text{m}^3
\]
---
## 3. Number of Bricks
\[
\text{Number of bricks} = \frac{V_{wall}}{V_{brick}} = \frac{3}{.002} = 150
\]
---
## 4. Final Answer
**The number of standard bricks required:**
\[
\boxed{150}
\]

## Summary Table
| Item | Value |
|----------------|--------------------------------|
| Wall volume | 3 m³ |
| Brick (with mortar) volume | .002 m³ |
| Number of bricks | 150 |

## Notes
- Calculation assumes all mortar joints are 10 mm thick and completely fill the space between bricks.
- Wastage and breakage are not included in this calculation.
