Given:
Number of reams of paper = 5
Number of sheets in one ream = 500 sheets
Let's explain how we could estimate the thickness of 2 sheets of paper.
To find the thickness of 2 sheets of paper, we are to first find the number of sheets in the box.
Where:
Number of sheets in the box = Number of reams x Number of sheets in one ream
= 5 x 500 = 2500 sheets.
Now, we know there are 2500 sheets in the box.
Here, we are to first determine the total height of the stacked ream.
To find the thickness of 2 sheets of paper, divide the height of the stacked ream by the total number of sheets then multiply by 2.
It can be expressed as:
[tex]\frac{x}{y}*2[/tex]Where:
• x represents the height of the stacked ream.
,• y represents the total number of sheets
• ANSWER:
To estimate the thickness of 2 sheets of paper, divide the height of the 5 stacked reams of paper by the total number of sheets, then multiply by 2.
