Question:

the aluminum in a package contains 75ft^2 of kitchen foil wieghs 12.0 ozAl has a density of 2.70 g/cm^3.?

what is the thickness in millimeters?

Answer:

12 oz x (28.3495-g/oz) 340.194-g density mass/volume - volume mass / density - 340.194-g / 2.70-g/cm^3 125.997-cm^3 75ft^2 x ( 30.480 cm/ 1 ft)^2 69677.28 cm^2 volume area x thickness - thickness volume / area - 125.997-cm^3 / 69677.28-cm^2 0.001808 1.81 x10^-3 cm +++++++ADDITIONAL++++++++++++++++ 5 hrs left and I just came back and noticed that I had left the answer in cm while the question asked to report the answer in millimetersIt's probably way too late for corrections now but its the principle of not 'knowingly' leaving an incorrect answer1.81 x 10^-3 cm x (10 mm / 1cm) 1.81 x 10^-2 mm
Pink Panther brandComes in rolls, will stay in place better.
R19 or R13 is okUnless you get blow in and that want work if you already have bags up thereRemember the paper goes to the living areaNeed to know how wide your rafter joists are to know if 19 or 13.
Use blowen insulation for two reasons it is easy, two mice do not like blowen insulation fiberglass they will live inYou need to take two rows of the insulation and stack them on top of each other,then blow in insulation.Blowen in insulations fills gaps roll in insulations leaves gapsPlastic does cause moisture.
this is what you do,never mind the fibre glass insullation,you need the celulose insulation,the densitty is far greater than fibre glass,you can nicely retrofit you attic in every little crack,just blow in a r40 (11) over your old existing batts,and your totaly heat sealedfibre glass has no density what so ever ,it is just a cheap way of insulating for home builders,and budget minded home ownerscelulose is made up of recyled paper,has borate as a fire retardent and rodent repellant, rent out a machine and start blowing
