Question

A stack of 500 pieces of paper is 1.015 inches tall. What is an appropriate estimate for the thickness of each piece of paper?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.002 inches

Explanation:

A stack of 500 pieces of paper is 1.015 inches tall. The appropriate estimate for the thickness of each piece of paper would be gotten by dividing 1.015 by 500. This will be:

= 1.015 / 500

= 0.00203

= 0.002 inches
