Answer:

3.3776997 x 10¹² inches high

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sheets obtained after each tear (N) is described by an exponential relationship, where 'n' is the number of tears:

N=2^n

For n = 50:

N=2^{50}\\N=1.1258999*10^{15}

If each sheet is 0.003 in thick, the stack would have a height of:

h = 1.1258999*10^{15}*0.003\\h= 3.3776997*10^{12}\ in

The final pile would be 3.3776997 x 10¹² inches high.
