A sheet of​ custom-size copy paper measures 3.5 in. by 14 in. If a ream​ (500 sheets) of this paper has a volume of 98 in. cubed​, how thick is the​ ream?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 in

Explanation:

Area of a sheet = 3.5 x 14 in²

Volume of ream, V = 98 in³

Let t be the thickness of ream

So, Volume of ream  Area of a sheet x thickness of ream

98 = 3.5 x 14 x t

t = 2 in

Thus, the  thickness of ream is 2 in.

Answer:

t = 2 in

Explanation:

given,

width of sheet, W = 3.5 in

Length of the sheet, L = 14 in

thickness of the ream = ?

volume of paper = 98 in³

we now,

Volume = Length x width x thickness

V = l w t

98 =  14 x 3.5 x t

[tex]t = \dfrac{98}{14\times 3.5}[/tex]

t = 2 in

thickness of the ream is equal to 2 in.
