Question

The volume of a block of gold is 0.5 m3. If it is hammered into a sheet to cover an area of 1 hectare, find the thickness of the sheet.

Answer 1

volume  of golden block = 0.5m³
area of the sheet = 1
            1 hectare = 10000
the thickness of the sheet = volume /area =0.5 / 10000=0.00005m

Answer 2

volume  of golden block = 0.5m³

area of the sheet = 1

           1 hectare = 10000

the thickness of the sheet = volume /area

                                         =0.5 / 10000

                                         =0.00005m
