a. h = 2^25sheets * 0.0032in/sheet =
107,374.1824 Inches.
b. h = 107,374.1824 / 12 = 8947.85 Feet.
107,374.1824 Inches.
b. h = 107,374.1824 / 12 = 8947.85 Feet.
Let's use an exponential equation to solve for the height of the stack in inches. Each time we double the stack, we are essentially multiplying the thickness by 2. So after doubling it 25 times, we would have:
Height = initial thickness * 2^(number of doublings)
Plugging in the values, we have:
Height = 0.0032 inches * 2^(25 doublings)
To calculate this using a calculator, follow these steps:
1. Take 2 to the power of 25 (2^25) using your calculator. The result will be a very large number.
2. Multiply the large number by the initial thickness of 0.0032 inches.
The resulting number will be the height of the stack in inches.
To convert the height from inches to feet, we can divide the height by 12, as there are 12 inches in a foot. So:
Height in feet = Height in inches / 12
By performing this calculation, we can determine the height of the stack in feet.
Remember to use parentheses or brackets on your calculator to ensure that the calculations are done correctly.
