Answer:

0.02 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the numbers given in decimal first, for ease of calculation.

Thickness of soles of feet = 1 2/5th mm, which is 1.4 mm

THick ness of eyelids are 1/70 TIMES the thickness of soles

So we multiply 1/70 [in decimal that is 0.0143 (rounded to 4 decimals) ] with 1.4:

0.0143 * 1.4 = 0.02 mm

So, the thickness of skin on your eyelids is 0.02 mm
