b) Express it in metres.

_________________________

SOLUTION :-

a)

Thickness of 100 sheets = 5 mm

Thickness of 1 sheet = $\frac{5}{100} mm$

=> 0.05 mm

__________________________

b)

We know that,

1 m = 1000 mm

So,

1 mm = $\frac{1}{1000} m$

$= > 0.05mm = \frac{0.05}{1000} m \\ \\ = \frac{5}{1000 \times 100} m \\ \\ = \frac{5}{100000} m\\ \\ = 0.00005m$

So,

Thickness of one sheet = 0.05 mm

In metres = 0.00005 m

Hope it helps.
