Question

Paper thickness ranges from 0.0032 inch to 0.0175 inch. Kay folds a piece of paper 0.01 inch thick in half over and over until it is at least 25 layers thick. How many times does she fold the paper in half and how many layers are there? How thick is the folded paper?

Answer 1

There are NO images for the problem

Answer 2

1 fold gives us 2 layers
2 folds --> 4 layers
3 folds --> 8 layers
4 folds --> 16 layers
5 folds --> 32 layers (this is more than 25 so only 5 folds necessary)

5 folds, 32 layers, and for thickness it's original thickness * 32 = (0.1)*32-- > simplify to get your answer

Answer 3
