Answer:
The mass of a single paper is approximately 0.047 lb/paper which in SI Units is approximately 21.77 g/paper
Explanation:
The given information on the size and the weight of paper are;
The mass of a box of 500 sheets of paper = 24 lb
The number of sheets in the paper = 500 sheets
The dimensions of the paper = 17 in. × 22 in., which is equivalent to 43.18 cm × 55.88 cm
The mass of a single paper = The mass of the box of paper/(The number of sheets of paper present in the box)
The mass of a single paper = 24 lb/500 = 0.047 lb/paper
Given that 1 lb = 453.6 g, we have;
0.047 lb/paper = 0.047 lb/paper×453.6 g/(lb) = 21.77 g/paper
The mass of a single paper = 0.047 lb/paper = 21.77 g/paper.
