How much does a sheet of paper?

Paper in the United States is calculated as 500 sheets of bond paper with a size of 17" by 22" (ledger-size) as having a weight of 20 pounds. The manufacturer cuts a ledger-sheet into four 8 ½" by 11" (letter-size) sheets, so a 500 letter-size sheet ream of 20-pound bond paper weighs 5 pounds. In the real world (outside the USA where they use archaic units) A sheet of A4 paper is 1/16 of a square metre, or 210 × 297 mm. The normal standard for printer paper is 80 gsm (grams per square metre). Therefore a standard A4 sheet weighs 80/16 = 5 grams.
