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.
