Take a piece of paper .1 mm thick and fold it 100 times what will be the thickness after?

Answer 1

2^100*.1mm

Answer 2

You can not fold it 100 times.

Theory and reality are different.

Of course this assumes by "fold it" you meant in half. Literally translated, if you fold a paper in 100 different places, .2 mm thick.

Or, if you fold and unfold the paper 100 times, it will still be .1 mm thick. Must be specific.

Answer 3

If the paper was sufficiently large (so that it could be folded 100 times), then each fold would double the thickness of the paper.

1 fold = 0.2 mm
2 folds = 0.4 mm
3 folds = 0.8 mm
4 folds - 1.6 mm

0.2 mm * 2 ^ (number of folds) = 0.2 mm * 2 ^ 100

2 ^ 100 = 1,267,650,600,228,229,500,000,000,000,000.
(there are 9 zeros missing)

For a theoretical result multiply that by 0.2 mm. This is not practical in reality.

Answer 4

I never ever fold a piece of paper 100 times and I think it's imposable to fold it 100 times.

Answer 5

its 101mm thick after 100 times
when u fold it once it becomes 2 mm think and when u fold it twice ti becomes 3 mm thick and ti goes on ,,finally when u fold it 100 times it becomes 101mm thick

Answer 6

the thickness would be 0.1 x 2^100 mm thick

Answer 7

may be about 40cm as when we fold it 1 time it's thickness is.2mm ,.4 for folding 2 times and so on

Answer 8

folded 100 times = 101 folds altogether.

thus, 101 x 0.1mm = 10.1 mm

Answer 9

200 mm

Answer 10

you cant equally fold any paper more than 10 times... that is true...check out..

mathematically 0.1*100=10mm

Answer 11

.1mm raised to 100
