Given that

A stack of four hundred twenty cards is placed next to a ruler, and the height of the stack is measured to be 3/4 inches.

We have to determine

How thick is one card?

According to the question

Number of cards in a stack = 120

The thickness of the stack = 3/4

The thickness of each card is calculated by the "Unitary method":

The thickness of 120 cards  = 3/4

Then,

The thickness of 1 card is given by;

[tex]= \dfrac{3}{4 \times 120}\\\\=\dfrac{ 3 }{480}\\\\= 0.00625[/tex]

Hence, the thickness of the card is 0.00625.
