Question

If a pack of playing cards measures 1.3cm when viewed sideways, what
would be the measurement if all the aces were removed?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a playing card deck contains 52 cards

∴ Thickness of 52 cards = 1.3 cm

or Thickness of 1 card =$\frac{1.3}{52}$ = 0.025 cm

If aces are removed, it will be a removal of 4 cards

New thickness of pack = Original thickness - Thickness of 4 aces

= 1.3 - (4 x 0.025)

= 1.3 - 0.1 cm

= 1.2 cm
