Answer

$2666$ wafers

Work Step by Step

We are given a substance measuring $2$ meters, and asked how many $0.75$ mm wafers can be created from it. First, we have to convert mm to meters. Since there are $1000$ mm in a meter, each wafer is $0.00075$ m wide. Now, we simply divide the whole (2 m) by the part (0.00075 m) and we get 2666 wafers from each whole.
