A ream is a fixed unit of measure, currently set at 500 sheets of paper. At one time it was 480. A printer's ream is 516 sheets.
500 sheets
The question should be, 'How many sheets of paper in one REAM?' (not rim!) And the answer is as was given - 500 in a metric ream.
A Ream is a measure of the NUMBER of sheets of paper (500 sheets) How thick that would be will depend on the weight of the paper. Heavier paper is thicker.
The noun 'ream' is a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for 500 sheets of paper or a large quantity of something; a word for a thing.
With reference to paper count 1 ream of paper contains 500 sheets.
A quire of paper is 25 sheets, and a ream is 500 sheets. A ream is an international standard.
A twentieth of a ream is equal to 25 sheets of paper. A standard ream typically contains 500 sheets.
no i don't really know
Ream is the answer
Normally, there are 500 sheets in a ream, formerly (and sometimes still used) 480. A printer's ream has 516 sheets.500 sheets
500 Sheets in a Ream of Paper
The usual number is 500, but occasionally some reams have 480.
500 sheets of paper is the International Standard for a ream of paper.
There are 500 sheets in a 20-lb. ream of paper.
There are two conflicting units at work here. One is the ream as mentioned in the question and one is the quire. "Short" paper measurements insist that there are 24 sheets in a quire and 20 quires in a ream, therefore, "short" paper measurements give 480 sheets to a ream. Writing paper measurements give 25 sheets to a quire and 20 quires, therefore, 500 sheets, to a ream.
A ream of paper is a quantity of the same size and quality, 1 ream is 20 quires or 500 sheets
