Height of stack  / thicness of one sheet   = number of sheets    ......so.....

 

2.25 / 0.0075  = 300 sheets

 

Think of a hypothetical situation where the pile was one mile high - 5280 feet - and each sheet was 1 foot thick.....

 

Then....the number of sheets would be     5280 / 1    = 5280 sheets
