The thickness of a book is determined by the thickness of its cover and its pages. The front and back covers of most books are each about 5 mm thick and every 25 pages adds an additional millimeter to the thickness. How thick would a 600 page book be? Round to 2 decimal places
The front and back covers each have a thickness of 5 mm, so together they add 5 + 5 = <<5+5=10>>10 mm.
Since every 25 pages add 1 mm to the thickness, we divide the number of pages (600) by 25 to find out how many millimeters the pages will add: 600 / 25 = <<600/25=24>>24 mm.
In total, the pages will add 24 mm to the thickness.
Adding the thickness of the covers to the thickness added by the pages, the book will be 10 + 24 = <<10+24=34>>34 mm thick. Answer: \boxed{34}.
To calculate the thickness of a book, we need to consider the thickness of the covers and the pages.
Given that the front and back covers are each about 5 mm thick, the total thickness due to the covers is 5 mm + 5 mm = 10 mm.
For the pages, we can calculate the thickness by dividing the number of pages by 25, since every 25 pages adds 1 mm.
For the 600-page book, we divide 600 by 25: 600 ÷ 25 = 24.
So, the pages add an additional 24 mm to the thickness.
Adding the cover thickness and the page thickness together: 10 mm + 24 mm = 34 mm.
Therefore, the thickness of a 600-page book would be approximately 34 mm.
To determine the thickness of a 600-page book, we can use the given information that every 25 pages add 1 millimeter to the thickness.
Let's calculate the thickness of the pages first:
600 pages ÷ 25 pages per millimeter = 24 millimeters added to the thickness.
Next, let's consider the thickness of the covers:
The front and back covers are each about 5 mm thick, so the total thickness of both covers is 5 mm + 5 mm = 10 mm.
Adding the thickness of the covers and the thickness of the pages together, we get:
10 mm + 24 mm = 34 mm
Therefore, a 600-page book would be approximately 34 millimeters thick.
