Answer

$1.81 \times 10^{-2} mm$

Work Step by Step

$First, convert the weight of the foil to grams 8.0oz\times\frac{453.6g}{16oz}=227.0g$ $Next, determine the volume of aluminum foil 227.0g\div2.70 g/cm^3 = 84.0 cm^3$ $Convert area into cm^2 (50ft^2)(12in^2)(2.53cm) = 4.65 x 10^4cm^2$ $Because volume = area x thickness, thickness = volume/area 84.0\div(4.65 x 10^4cm^2) = 1.81 \times 10^{-2} mm$
