Take about 20 pieces of similar paper, align them together and measure their total thickness. After that, divide that thickness by 20 to get the thickness of one.
Or measure just one sheet, using one of the precision instruments designed for measuring thicknesses very accurately: the micrometer or the caliper (the latter of the vernier or more commonly now, digital, type).

∙ 6y agoGSM 'grams per square meter' is used in Europe to determine the thickness of paper. For instance, low quality photo copy paper is usually 80 gsm.
ADDED: That is indeed how paper is described for sale and use; but if we take the question literally, you would measure its thickness with a micrometer or precision caliper, and the units read from either instrument would be hundredths of millimetres (or thousandths of inches).

How do you divide the thickness of a papet?
To divide the thickness of a paper evenly, you can use a ruler or calipers to measure the total thickness. Then, use a knife or razor blade to carefully cut the paper into equal parts, ensuring each section has the desired thickness. A paper cutter or guillotine can also be used for more accuracy and precision.

How much paper do you need to reach the moon?
After years of researching with my lab partners, we have finally found the answer. The hardest part of the research was finding the thickness of a piece of normal construction paper, the thickness of a piece of paper is 0.00042mm. After, we used the distance between Earth and the Moon. The final answer of this question is: You need 106,298,623,185,474,890,00 pieces of paper. That's a pretty big number right? Hope this helped you!
What do you use to measure the thickness of a sheet of paper?
This cannot be done very accurately. However, take enough sheets to make a stack sufficiently high to correspond with the length of the metre rule. Divide the number of sheets by a metre. That will give you the fraction of a metre that one sheet makes.
Beta radiation used rather than alpha or gamma radiation in this paper thickness equipment?
