Create three different political cartoons that evaluate the connection between historical memory and conservative policies. (think about what issues may be “hot topics” today and consider how you might portray them in a “remember when” cartoon.)

32 times!

Explanation:

Let the original dough thickness be To and the final desired thickness be T in mm.

To=222mm, T = 2.5 m = 2500 mm.

Given that each time Soon Yi rolls and folds the dough, the thickness increases by 8% or 0.08, the final thickness T and the initial thickness To culd be related by the formula:

T = To(1+0.8)^n, where n is the times Soon Yi has to roll the dough.

For instance, after the first roll the thickness will be

T=222(1+0.08)=222*1.08= 239.76 mm

Then the next thickness after the second roll will be

T=239.76*1.08=258.9 mm..., and so on.

By plugging in the given values and evaluating, we have

2500 = 222(1+0.08)^n =222(1.08)^n

2500/222 = 11.2613 = 1.08^n

log(11.2613)=n*log(1.08)

n=log(11.2613)/log(1.08)= 31.46

Thus, the smallest number of times Soon Yi will have to roll and fold the dough so that the resulting dough is at least 2.5m thick will be 32.
