calculate the range of value of the height of 328 sheets of the same cardboard
let number of sheets be n, thickness t, and height h
h=n%2At
if n=328 and t=0.8mm, then
h=328%2A0.8mm=262.4mm

and the maximum and the minimum number of sheets which are in pile 50cm+high.

h=50cm=500mm
500mm=n%2A0.8mm
n=500mm%2F0.8mm
n=500%2F%288%2F10%29
n=5000%2F8
n=625

the maximum and the minimum number of sheets which are in pile 50cm+high is 625
