Take a sheet of paper that is 0.1 mm thick. Tear it in half and put both pieces together. Tear those in half again. Repeat this process until you have torn it in half twenty-five times. How high, in meters, is the stack of paper?

Answer :

The stack of paper will be 3355.4432 meters high after stacking halves of it tearing up for 25 times by method of unit conversion from millimeters to meters.

A sheet of paper is 0.1 mm thick.
It is folded in halves for 25 times by tearing it.
The above information can be represented in an equation form as,
Height of the paper stack = (0.1)* ([tex]2^{n}[/tex]) in millimeters
where, n denotes the number of times paper is folded.
Thus, height of the paper stack after tearing it in halves for 25 times we get,
Height = (0.1)* ([tex]2^{25}[/tex]) in millimeters
= 3355443.2 millimeters
We can convert milimmillimeters in meters by the following way as,
1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
Therefore, 33355443.2 millimeters = (0.001)(3355443.2) meters
= 3355.4432 meters
