How thick is the third book? ** The third book is 50 - 5 = <<50-5=45>>45 mm thick.
How thick is the fourth book? ** The fourth book is 31 x 2 = <<31*2=62>>62 mm thick.
What is the total thickness of the four books? ** The total thickness of the four books is 31 + 50 + 45 + 62 = <<31+50+45+62=188>>188 mm.
