Explanation:
Fundamentally the aluminum foil is a rectangular prism. It has a length, a width, and a thickness.
The volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as
[tex]V = l * w * h[/tex]
If we know the volume and two of the three dimensions, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the thickness.
[tex]h = V/(l*w)[/tex]
But we should also be sure to confirm our units.
A liter is defined as 1000 cm^3. Therefore a mL is equal to 1 cm^3.
You should convert the units of measure given in the problem statement such that the units are aligned. For example, 10.0mm will be 1 cm and 12.5m will be 1250 cm. This will give you a height in cm.
