Any size sheet of paper can only be folded in half 7 times.
If you take a single sheet and fold it in half 8 times, the pack will have 64 layers.
Impossible question to answer. No piece of paper can be folded more than seven times. Most, no more than 5. Depending on how you fold, anywhere from 10 to 512 with the limitation implied above.
Britney Gallivan broke the record by folding gold foil in half 12 times.http://pomonahistorical.org/12times.htm
You can't fold a piece of paper 50 times
A standard piece of paper cannot be folded 7 times, but the Mythbusters folded a hangar sized piece of paper 11 times.
Any paper can be folded in half for 6 times.
Any size sheet of paper can only be folded in half 7 times.
the rules of matter will only allow it to be folded 7 times max
It's physically impossible to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times.
Yes it is possible. But the paper does have to be very big and thinner than an ordinary piece of paper.
If by sides you refer to the number of paper slices you can hold then the formula is this: assuming that when the paper has not been folded, the number of times folded is equal zero then the equation is: 2x, where x is the number of times folded. for example if the paper has been folded four times the number of sides is: 24 = 16
It is hard to explain, but it basically amounts to the size to fold ratio. A large enough, thin enough, sheet of paper can be folded more than eight times, but it has to be the size of a football field in order to do it. 128 layers of paper is a lot to fold in half to get to 256!
A normal piece of paper is about 0.0038 inches thick. So, if the paper were to be folded 50 times, it would become, essentially, 1,125,899,906,842,624 pieces of paper stacked upon one another. Therefore, you would multiply the above number by 0.0038 and that would be 4278419646001.97 inches or 67,525,562.594 miles of paper. So, a normal 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper folded 50 times would be 67,525,562.594 miles, which is 141 times the distance the Moon is to the Earth.
a) It depends on paper size, and the quality of the paper.b) A piece of paper may be folded in half approximately 6-7 times consecutively, without unfolding, since the seventh fold and beyond would require bending hundreds (2^n) of layers .MythBusters managed to fold a football field sized piece of paper 11 times.
There is no fixed sequence.
