Matthias used a laser to measure the average thickness of a human hair. A sheet of paper is about 0.0013 meter thick. How do the two thicknesses compare?

A sheet of paper, 0.0013 m thick is as thick as 19 strands of hair

Step-by-step explanation:

The average thickness of human hair is about 0.07 mm

Therefore, where the paper is about 0.0013 m thick we have

0.0013 m = ‪1.3 mm

Therefore, 1 sheet of paper is as thick as or 18.57 strands of hair or a sheet of paper is as thick as approximately 19 strands of average human hair combined.

The answer to your question is     x = 10/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

                      6 / (x + 2) = 5 / 4x

To solve this equation use cross multiplication

                      6(4x) = 5(x + 2)

Simplify

                     24x = 5x + 10

Subtract 5x in both sides of the equation

                     24x - 5x = 5x - 5x + 10

Simplify

                     19x = 10

Divide by 19 both sides

                     19x/19 = 10/19

Simplify

                         x = 10/19
