If you had a piece of paper that was 0.001 inches thick how tall a pile would it make if it were folded in half 10 times?
1.028"
If you folded a peice of paper 50 times and the thickness was .1 mm when you started how thick would it be?
It is physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than 8 times. However, assuming you could do it (though it would be easier to cut the pile so far in half and put one half on top of the other), then: After 1 fold the stack has 2 sheets After 2 folds the stack has 4 sheets After 3 folds the stack has 8 sheets After n folds the stack has 2^n sheets After 50 folds the stack will be 2⁵⁰ sheets thick As each sheet is 0.1mm, the stack will be: 2⁵⁰ × 0.1 mm = 112589990684262.4 mm thick = 112589990.6842624 km thick ≈ 1.126 × 10¹¹ m thick
What is 24 times 365?
The answer of 365x24 is 8,760 How to work this out on your own (and NOT use the calculator) is to have a piece of paper and use formal algorithms 365 x24 ____ 8,760
What is 15 x 5?
15 x 5 = 75 You can just add up 15 5 times on a piece of paper and their you go! :)

If you fold a piece of paper in half 50 times would it reach the moon?
yes the moon is 238,857 miles away whereas a piece of paper folded 50 times reaches over 200,000,000 miles so it would reach the moon (and then some) Edit: A piece of paper (lets use metric for this) is approx 0.1mm thick. Folding it 50 times will create a bundle (2^50)/10 mm thick, which is (1.12589907x10^15)/10 mm, or 1.12589907x10^14. Lets convert it to kilometers, through each step. Cm : 1.12589907x10^13 (divide by 10) M : 1.12589907x10^11 (divide by 100) Km : 1.12589907x10^8 (divide by 1000) So, the paper would be 1.12589907x10^8 km thick. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is only 1.496x10^8km. Therefore, the paper would reach the majority of the way to the Sun... it beat the moon by a long shot. Plus, if the paper were slightly thicker, (eg 0.11mm) it would reach, or even pass, the Sun quite easily.
If you folded a piece a paper 50 times how tall would it be?
A normal piece of paper is about 0.0038 inches thick. So, if the paper were to be folded 50 times, it would become, essentially, 1,125,899,906,842,624 pieces of paper stacked upon one another. Therefore, you would multiply the above number by 0.0038 and that would be 4278419646001.97 inches or 67,525,562.594 miles of paper. So, a normal 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper folded 50 times would be 67,525,562.594 miles, which is 141 times the distance the Moon is to the Earth.
Can you only fold paper 7 times?
yes if it is not in half, but if you you mean in half, then: A normal piece of paper, no. The width becomes to thick and the length too small. But here are some websites where they get a huge piece of paper so the length doesn't become too small, and they can do it 11 or 12 times: http://pomonahistorical.org/12times.htm http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2009/07/23/why-cant-you-fold-a-piece-of-paper-more-than-seven-times/
Is it possible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times?
nope ive tried it :( multiple times....Well, it depends on what you mean. Of course you can fold a piece of paper lots of times. What you can not do is fold a piece of paper in half lots of times.Your typical piece of paper is about 0.1mm thick. Each fold in half doubles the thickness, so by the time you have folded it 7 times it is 2^7*0.1 mm thick, that's 12.8mm, call it 1/2 an inch thick. And by then your piece of paper is rather small. If it started 8 1/2 x 11, it is now 11/8 x 17/8 inches, or about 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. (ignoring the size of he folds)The next fold would make it 1 inch thick, and the outside of the fold would be a half circle 1/2 inch radius using pi/2 inches of paper, call it 1 1/2 inches. This isn't going to work.
If you fold a piece of paper in half 50 times how tall would it be?
You can't fold a piece of paper 50 times
If a paper is 1mm thick and you fold it 40 times how thick will would it be be?
It would remain 1mm thick.
What is a piece of paper?

If you fold a piece of paper 50 times how thick would it be?
It depends, because the paper could be thicker than others.AnswerThe folded paper would be 1 x (250) times as thick as the original sheet as each fold doubles the thicknessAssuming the initial paper is 1/100 of an inch thick the last fold would make a wad of paper almost 200 million miles thick
