Alyssa_Mercer - 01.02.2016 01:22To find the thickness of one paper, you set up proportions. 2000 sheets/17 cm=1 sheet/ x cm. Then you cross multiply and get, 17=2000*x Then find x, x=0.0085 Or 0.0085 cm Another way to find it is just to divide 17 by 2000 from the start because you need to find the thickness of one paper.
