A rectangular sheet of paper was folded in half 6 times. In the middle of this folded sheet, two holes were drilled. Then, the sheet of paper was unfolded back to its original shape. How many holes are there?

Folding of the paper is an illustration of a geometric sequence

The number of holes in the rectangular paper is 128

The given parameters are:

--- holes

--- number of times

The sheet was folded in halves i.e. in 2's.

So, the amount of each time is:

Substitute values for h and t

Evaluate the exponent

Multiply

Hence, the number of holes in the rectangular paper is 128

There will be 128 holes

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply think of each fold as doubling the number of holes.  So since we have 6 folds, that will be 2^6 and then we have 2 holes in those folds, which makes 2*2^6 == 2^7 == 128 holes.  Cheers.

multiple all that
