Question

A ream of paper contains 480 sheets. Each sheet is 0.014cm thick. Find the thickness of the ream paper

Answer 1

To find the total thickness of the ream of paper, you can multiply the number of sheets by the thickness of each sheet.

Given:
- Number of sheets = 480
- Thickness of each sheet = 0.014 cm

The formula to calculate the total thickness is:

\[
\text{Total Thickness} = \text{Number of Sheets} \times \text{Thickness of Each Sheet}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Total Thickness} = 480 \times 0.014 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{Total Thickness} = 6.72 \, \text{cm}
\]

Thus, the thickness of the ream of paper is **6.72 cm**.
