You find an old book and decide to estimate the thickness of one of the sheets or leafs. Neglecting the front and back cover, if all the sheets of book are 3 inches thick, and has 1024 marked pages (numbered 1 to 1024), what is the approximate thickness of the sheet in units of mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1024/2 = 512 SHEETS (each is numbered on two sides)

3 inches * 25.4 mm/inch / 512 sheet = .1488 mm per sheet
