A quire of paper is 25 sheets, and a ream is 500 sheets. A ream is an international standard.
24 sheets in a quire. 20 quires are in 1 ream of standard paper.
A ream of paper is a quantity of the same size and quality, 1 ream is 20 quires or 500 sheets
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.
500 sheets of paper is the International Standard for a ream of paper.
A ream of paper is 20 quires of paper.A quire is defined in different ways.As a number it is currently 25 sheets of paper, but formerly it was 24 sheets.So, if we assume that a quire is 25, and a ream is 20 quires, then a ream is 20 x 25, which is 500 sheets.All you have to do now is to find the weight of 1 sheet of paper and multiply it by 500!Paper is often sold in different weights. The 'weight' indicates its thickness.A typical 'copy' paper A4 size, for use on a home PC printer, weighs about 80 grams per square meter (gsm).A Premier Photo paper might weigh 250 gsm.So the weight of a ream of paper depends on1. the 'gsm' weight/quality of the paper2. the size of each sheet in the reamA ream (500 sheets) of A4 paper, 80 gsm, weighs about 2.4 Kg But a ream of A3 size paper, a sheet of which is twice the sizeof an A4 sheet, weighs about 4.8 Kg
Ream is the answer
is ream of paper.
A ream of paper is a quantity of the same size and quality, 1 ream is 20 quires or 500 sheets
480 sheets = 1 ream 24 sheets = 1 quire 20 quires = 1 ream 6x24=144=6 quires

Two of the most common paper measures are quire (25 sheets) and ream (500 sheets, or 20 quires).
; Writing paper measurements : 25 sheets = 1 quire : 500 sheets = 20 quires = 1 ream : 1,000 sheets = 40 quires = 2 reams = 1 bundle : 5,000 sheets = 200 quires = 10 reams = 5 bundles = 1 bale
500 sheets of paper is the International Standard for a ream of paper.
There are 500 sheets in a 20-lb. ream of paper.
