Question

a piece of paper is 5.5 x 10^-4 inches thick. If jennifer has 35 such pieces,how thick is the whole stack? Write your answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

T = 0.01925 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Thickness of a piece of a paper is $5.5\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Total number of pieces are 35

We need to find the thickness of the whole stack. It is simply a case of unitary method.

For 35 pieces, thickness is :

$T=35\times 5.5\times 10^{-4}\\\\T=0.01925\ m$

So, the thickness of the whole stack is 0.01925 metres.
