The thickness of an individual sheet of the printer paper is 101.6 micrometer.

<h3>What is unit conversion?</h3>

Unit conversion is a multi-step process that involves multiplying or dividing by a mathematical factor or, more specifically, a conversion factor.

The procedure may also necessitate selecting the appropriate number of critical digits and rounding.
Different conversion units are used to evaluate different parameters.

Now, according to the question.

The total number of sheets are 500.

The thickness of stack of sheets are 2 inch.

convert 2 inch in cm;

2 inch = 2× 2.54 cm

2 inch = 5.08 cm.

Thickness of 1 sheet = Total thickness/Total sheets

Thickness of 1 sheet = 5.08/500

Thickness of 1 sheet = 0.01016 cm

Covert this thickness in micrometer.

1 micrometer = 1/1000 cm

1 cm = 10000 micrometer

Thus,

0.01016 cm = 0.01016×10000

0.01016 cm = 101.6 micrometer

Therefore, the thickness of an individual sheet of the printer paper is 101.6 micrometer.
