A single sheet of copier paper is approximately [tex]1 \times 10^{-4}[/tex] meters thick. An office worker stacks 10 reams of paper in a corner. Ten reams is [tex]5 \times 10^{3}[/tex] pieces of paper.

How tall is this stack of paper (in meters)?

Answer :

height

= [tex]5 × 10^(-1)m[/tex]

height = 0.5 meters

therefore, the stack of paper will be 0.5 meters high.

A single sheet of copier paper is approximately.

[tex]1 × 10^(-4)[/tex]meters thick.

Ten reams of paper are stacked in a corner by an office worker.

Ten reams are equivalent to

[tex]5 × 10^(3)[/tex]

pieces of paper.

Solution:

Thickness of a single sheet of copier paper

= 1 × 10^(-4) meters

Number of sheets of paper in ten reams

=[tex]5 × 10^(3)[/tex]

pieces Total[tex]= 1 × 10^(-4)[/tex] height of the stack of paper in meters is obtained by multiplying the thickness of a single sheet of paper by the total number of pieces of paper. Therefore, Height = number of pieces of paper × thickness of each piece height

= [tex]5 × 10^(3) × 1 × 10^(-4)[/tex]

height

= [tex]5 × 10^(-1)m[/tex]

height = 0.5 meters

therefore, the stack of paper will be 0.5 meters high.
