Use a saw.
1/4 = 2/8 so the 3/8 is thicker.
The easiest way to determine an honest weight of a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood? 20-25 pounds per 1/4" of thickness. 3 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness according to APA Plywood Design Specification.
No, not safe; if supported on each end it is likely to break
A quarter of an inch = 0.635 cm
245 lbs
that depends on the type of plywood 3/4" ranges from about 20.00 to about 50.00 a sheet (cheap flooring to higher end finish plywood and marine grade pressure treated) in my area. . .check around.
when asking this question you first need to take into account that plywood comes in different thicknesses therefore weight per particualr thickness of sheet plywood will vary-- in my opinion/ without fact and research / a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood may way about 16 lbs. while a 3/4 inch plywood sheet may way 70 lbs.

about 10to 12 pounds If we are talking about 4' x 8' sheets, the answer is more like 45 pounds, although it can vary quite a bit by type of wood used, grade and interior versus exterior.

A rule of thumb is 25lbs per 1/4" of thickness, so for 3/4" would be around 75lbs.
Yes it can. That seems a very satisfactory way to do it.

¼-inch plywood 0.31 3/8 inch plywood 0.47 ½-inch plywood 0.62 5/8 inch plywood 0.78 This is taken from http://www.sizes.com/units/rvalue.htm, which also has some other materials that could/would commonly be used alongside with plywood to increase the R Value such as building paper and insulation... if both sides of the frame are ply then you must also include the void.
It depends what the "ply" value is ... the number of layers glued together. For instance, 1/2" plywood is going to be lighter then 3/4" plywood. A common rule of thumb is a 4x8 foot sheet of 1/4" fir plywood weighs 25 pounds. There are 32 square feet in a sheet, so a square foot of 1/4" fir plywood weighs about 0.78 pounds. Since 1/2" is twice as thick as 1/4", 1/2" fir plywood weighs twice as much, or 1.56 lbs, and 3/4" three times as much, or about 2.34 lbs. Fir plywood is common, but other species are available. Weight varies considerably between species of wood, so be aware the weight of plywood of different species can be different.
