    The answer is 1.66*10⁶ sheets of paper.

    Monument is tall 555 ft. If 1 ft is 12 inches, than monument is tall 555 ft * 12 inches which is 6,660 inches.

    Writing paper is approximately 0.004 inches thick.

    The question is how many sheets of paper are needed for 6,660 inches tall monument:

    6,660 : 0.004 = 1,665,000 = 1.66 * 1,000,000 = 1.66 * 10⁶ sheets of paper.
