Problem 8. This problem consists of two separate application tasks. Complete each task. You must show all work for full credit. A final answer only will earn NO credit. a) Folding paper to the Moon (3 points) The thickness of a regular copy paper is about 0.10 millimeters. Now, imagine taking a very big piece of paper of thickness 0.10 millimeters (as big as you can imagine) and folding it repeatedly in half (without unfolding) over and over as many times as you wish. How many folds would it take for the paper to get thick (or high) enough to reach the Moon? The approximate distance from the Earth to the Moon is around 239,000 miles. You are folding paper in half, so: 1 fold is 0.10 mm, 2 folds is 0.20 mm, 3 folds is 0.40 mm, etc. 0 folds I fold 2 folds
