medium📝 Analysis Q4 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate number of layers from height and layer thickness
Number of layers = total height / layer height = 10 mm / 0.2 mm = 50 layers.Step 2: Confirm calculation and units
Both values are in mm, so division is direct and correct.Final Answer:
50 layers -> Option CQuick Check:
Layers = height ÷ layer height = 50 [OK]
Quick Trick: Divide height by layer height for layers count [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Multiplying instead of dividing
- Confusing mm units
- Choosing 20 or 200 layers incorrectly
