A mathematics text book, which consists of 859 pages, is 3 * 25 cm thick. Calculate thickness of a single page in the book in the form a x 10ˆn, where 1 ≤ a < 10, Give your answer correct to the three decimal places.
Hmmmmm.... are you saying the book is 3*25 = 75 cm thick?
75 cm / 859 p = .08731 cm per page = 8.731 x 10-2 cm thick
