Answers

  1. Given the thickness of the textbook covers and the sheets of paper between them, the height of 10 stacked books is 22 cm.

    How high is a stack of 10 books?

    Given the data in the question;
    • Height of front cover of a book = 0.3cm
    • Height of back cover of a book = 0.3cm
    • Height of a sheet of paper between the cover = 0.008cm
    • Number of papers between the cover = 200
    • Height of 10 stacked books = ?
    First we determine the height one book.
    Height of one book =  Height of two covers + Height of 200 sheets of paper between the cover.
    Height of one book = ( 0.3cm + 0.3cm ) + 200( 0.008cm )
    Height of one book = 0.6cm + 1.6cm
    Height of one book = 2.2cm
    Now, height of 10 stacked books will be;
    H = 10 × 2.2cm
    H = 22cm
    Given the thickness of the textbook covers and the sheets of paper between them, the height of 10 stacked books is 22 cm.
