This cannot be done very accurately.
However, take enough sheets to make a stack sufficiently high to correspond with the length of the metre rule.
Divide the number of sheets by a metre. That will give you the fraction of a metre that one sheet makes.

∙ 12y agoUnless you have expensive measuring tools, the best way to measure the thickness of one sheet of paper is to take a stack of the paper that is one inch thick and then count the number of pages in the inch of paper. Then by divide 1/(number of pages). For instance, if it was thick paper and it took 20 pages to equal an inch, one piece of that paper would be 1/20 of an inch in thickness.

∙ 10y agoIt would be pretty challenging to eyeball a single sheet of paper against a school ruler. Assuming you had several sheets of paper the same size (as being in the same book, for instance), the smart way would be to measure 100 (or 300, or 438) of them and divide the result by that number.

What is the thickness of the book?
It depends on the book
How do you determine the thickness of paper?
The thickness of paper is measured in 'calipers' ________ Check on the packaging of the paper for the manufacturer's specifications, if you can be confident that the specifications are accurate. You could press a known number of sheets of paper together (to extract as much air as possible), measure the stack as accurately as you can, and do the division in order to arrive at an estimated thickness of one sheet. You would divide the thickness of the pile by the number of sheets in the pile. Or you could use a micrometer to measure the thickness of one sheet. It would be interesting to use all three methods and see what you can conclude (or theorize) about differences you observe.
What metric unit would you use to measure thickness of a phone book?
one page of a phonebook is measured in mm. unit thickness of a phone book is cm
Would you use litersmilliliters or centimeters to measure the stomach?
Either of the first two if you wish to measure its capacity; the latter if you want to measure its length or thickness.
Whit what unit of measure would scientists use to measure the thickness of the rock layer created as a result of volcanic activity?
Grams

9cmvmd
What measurement would a scientist use to measure the thickness of an ice sheet?
meter
What unit of measure would you use to measure the width of a sheet of paper?
millimetres or even micrometres.
What can be used to measure the thickness of a piece of paper?
Take about 20 pieces of similar paper, align them together and measure their total thickness. After that, divide that thickness by 20 to get the thickness of one. Or measure just one sheet, using one of the precision instruments designed for measuring thicknesses very accurately: the micrometer or the caliper (the latter of the vernier or more commonly now, digital, type).
How much does one sheet of computer paper weigh in grams?
That depends both on the size (length, width) of the paper, and on its thickness. The paper I use for printing has 75 grams per square meter; you can base your calculations on that (convert length and width to meters, and multiply by 75 to get grams per sheet). Or use some other thickness, depending on the paper you use.Please note that a gram is not technically a unit of weight, but a unit of mass.
How do you divide the thickness of a papet?
To divide the thickness of a paper evenly, you can use a ruler or calipers to measure the total thickness. Then, use a knife or razor blade to carefully cut the paper into equal parts, ensuring each section has the desired thickness. A paper cutter or guillotine can also be used for more accuracy and precision.
How do you measure thickness in ndt?
The best way to measure thickness is to use an ultrasonic transducer. You use the back reflection to figure out the thickness.

What unit should you use to measure the width of a page of text?
You may use either the centimeter (cm) or millimeter (mm) to measure the width of a page of text (or a sheet of paper). For instance, A4 papers have a width of approximately 210mm (or 21cm), and a length of 297mm (or 29.7cm).For thickness measurements of a page of text (or a sheet of paper), you may use the units of millimeter (mm) or micrometer (μm). Generally, most paper types are between 50μm and 100μm (or 0.05mm to 0.1mm), although thicker papers (e.g. cardstock, glossy pages of photo inserts in some texts, etc) may have thickness measurements in the range of >100μm (or >0.1mm).
How do you measure the thickness of a pencil?
There are many ways in which you could measure the thickness of a pencil. You could use a string to measure it.
