Final answer:

To calculate the volume of the pile of paper, multiply the area of one sheet by the height of the pile. The volume of the pile of paper is 0.024928375 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of the pile of paper, we need to multiply the area of one sheet by the height of the pile.

The area of one sheet can be calculated by multiplying the length and width, converting to meters: 24.5 cm * 18.5 cm = 0.245 m * 0.185 m = 0.045325 m².

Then, the volume of the pile can be calculated by multiplying the area of one sheet by the height of the pile: 0.045325 m² * 0.55 mm = 0.024928375 m³.
