Question

5) Ziegler is using paper for an art project

thatis 0.025 mm thick. If she glues a layer
of thepaper onto a construction board with
athickness of 7 * 10^-2 mm, what will the
total thickness of the paper and the
construction
board be? Write your ansicer
in scientific notation

Answer 1

9.5 * 10^-2 mm

Explanation:

To find the total thickness, we proceed to add the two thickness that we have

Mathematically, this will be;

0.025 mm + 7 * 10^-2 mm

7 * 10^-2 mm = 0.07

So we have;

0.025 mm + 0.07 mm = 0.095

In scientific notation, this is 9.5 * 10^-2 mm
