To answer this question, you should first find the volume:7.28 g / mL x. 655 g / v = 0.08997 mL

volume = L x W x H, but thickness is the width. So rearranging the formula, the formula is v / l x h.

The thickness is found after dividing the volume by its length and width:

.08997 / (5.70) (4.25) =.004 cm is the thickness.
