Solution and Explanation

Thickness of each book = 20 mm 
Hence, thickness of 5 books = (5 x 20) mm = 100 mm 
Thickness of each paper sheet = 0.016 mm 
Hence, thickness of 5 paper sheets = (5 x 0.016) mm = 0.080 mm 
Total thickness of the stack = Thickness of 5 books + Thickness of 5 paper sheets
= (100 + 0.080) mm 
= 100.08 mm 
= 1.0008 x 102 mm
