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

T = 0.01925 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Thickness of a piece of a paper is
`5.5* 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* 5.5* 10^(-4)\\\\T=0.01925\ m`

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