Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{2.00 in}}  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid is  

V = lwh

\begin{array}{rcl}V & = & lwh\\187 & = & 8.5 \times 11 \times h\\& = & 93.5h\\h & = &\dfrac{187}{93.5}\\\\& = & \textbf{2.00 in}\\\end{array}\\\text{The ream is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.00 in}}$ thick.}

Part A: Find a rational number that is between 7.7 and 7.9. Explain why it is rational. (2 points)
8_murik_8 [283]
A rational number is any number that can be written as the ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form \frac{a}{b}

Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have 7.8=\frac{78}{10}

Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are \sqrt{2}, e, \phi and \pi so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case \frac{11\sqrt{2}}{5}\approx7.78 works nicely.
