work it out yourself.
I was just wandering this! It says 20 lbs, so we tested it in our science lab. 10 Sheets weighs 46 grams. Doing dimensional analysis, you end up with 5.07 lbs/ream! Well before a ream of paper is cut down to its 8.5x11 in sheets it is formed in huge sheets. This 20lb weight comes from what 500 of the large sheets would weigh before cutting them down. this gives you the weight, or thickness of the sheets. ie. 20lb, 24lb or 28lb.
A quire of paper is 25 sheets, and a ream is 500 sheets. A ream is an international standard.
A ream of paper is a quantity of the same size and quality, 1 ream is 20 quires or 500 sheets
500 sheets of paper is the International Standard for a ream of paper.
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
250
There are typically 500 sheets of paper in a ream.
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.
You can mail up to 5 sheets of 20lb paper with 1 standard postage stamp within the United States.
500 sheets
20 reams or 10,000 sheets of 20 lb paper would weigh approximately 100 pounds.
