To find the thickness of a ream of paper containing 480 sheets, we can multiply the thickness of one sheet by the total number of sheets.
Given:
- Each sheet thickness = 0.014 cm
- Number of sheets in a ream = 480
Now, we calculate the total thickness:
\[ \text{Total thickness} = \text{Number of sheets} \times \text{Thickness of one sheet} \] \[ \text{Total thickness} = 480 \times 0.014 , \text{cm} \] \[ \text{Total thickness} = 6.72 , \text{cm} \]
Therefore, the thickness of the ream of paper is 6.72 cm.
