Jimmy has a piece of paper and he notices that when he folds it in half, its thickness doubles. He measures the initial thickness of the paper as 0.1mm. He wonders how many times he would have to fold the paper to reach the moon, which he knows is 384000km from Earth.
How many times does Jimmy need to fold the piece of paper to reach the moon?
