The sheet needs to be folded in half 7 times.
Since the area of the piece of paper is 93.5 square inches, and we need to fold the sheet in half it 'n' times to get an area less than 1 square inch. This is written mathematically as 93.5(1/2)ⁿ ≤ 1.
So, dividing through by 93.5, we have
(1/2)ⁿ ≤ 1/93.5
(1/2)ⁿ ≤ 0.0107
taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have
㏑(1/2)ⁿ ≤ ㏑0.0107
n㏑(1/2) ≤ ㏑(0.0107)
n ≤ ㏑(0.0107)/㏑(1/2)
n ≤ -4.538/-0.693
n ≤ 6.55
Rounding up to the nearest whole number,
n ≅ 7
So, the sheet needs to be folded in half 7 times.
