    A/

    100/1.25 = 80sheets/cm

    B/

    Yes

    p =0 , t=0

    p = 50 , t = (50/80)cm = 0.625cm

    p=100 , t = (100/80)cm = 1.25cm

    ...and so on

    A) 1.25 cm / 100 sheets = 0.0125 cm/sheet

    B) Sure the stack of paper is proportional to the number of sheets in the stack by 0.0125

    C) t = 0.0125 p complete from p=0 to p=500 in intervals of 50
