Answer:

The sheet is 1 foot x 1 footTranslate that into cmUse 2.54 cm 1 inchOnce you have the area in square cm, then the total volume is V area thickness or, thickness V / area You are total that the mass is 3.386 g, and the density is 2.699 g/cm^3From that, you should be able to figure the volumeIt's more than 1 cm^3, and less than 2 cm^3Now you have the volume and the area, so use the formula above to get the thicknessBe careful with the units, and give the final answer in mm.
