A pile of 565 sheets of paper is 25 millimetres high. Calculate the thickness of 1 sheet of paper in centimetres. Give your answer in standard form.

itsmehjay:

Well millimeters to centimeters is 0.1 so you would have to divide. If 1 centimeter is 0.1 millimeters hen, how much millimeters there are if there is 25 centimeters?

leenlucu:

2.5 ?

Mostly agree with the previous answer **however** since it's asking for thickness per sheet, you need to divide 2.5cm by 565 sheets, not the other way around.
