Let x=number of times the one page letter was folded. Notice that thickness is defined, then, by t(x)=3x,measured in 1/150 in., since 150 pieces of stationery is 1 in.thick. If this tri-fold was repeated 20 times, the nt(x)=320=3486784401 (1/150 inches) =23245229.34 in=1937102.445ft=366.87546306818mi
