Yes I am not smarter than a 6th grader.

How do I show the math and in the simplest form for the following:

A sixth grade class has 100 sheets of lightweight paper. They use 3/4 of the paper for a collection of class poems. What is the total thickness of the paper they use?

You need to know the thickness of the 100 sheets to solve this problem.

100 sheets of lightweight paper is 3/10 in

This is a multiplication of fractions problem.

(3/10) * (3/4) = 9/40 in.

If you wanted to use a calculator, change the fractions to decimals.

0.3 * 0.75 = 0.225 in.
