Question

A typical thickness for a sheet of paper is 0.004 inches. If you fold a sheet of paper once, the thickness of
the folded paper will double to a value of 0.008 inches. A second fold will result in a folded thickness of
0.016 inches. Create a spreadsheet that shows the number of folds from 0 to 50 and the resulting
thickness of each fold. Calculate the resulting thickness in units of inches, feet, and miles.

Answer 1

Thickness of sheet of paper is 0.004 inch

Thickness double in each fold.

So we can write expression for thickness in inch for n fold as inch

Thickness of sheet of paper in feet is 0.000334 feet

So we can write expression for thickness in inch for n fold in feet as feet
