Answer: One ream is about 500 sheets of paper and 5.2 cm thick. Given this information, find in cubic centimeters the volume of one sheet of letter - size paper. A sheet of letter size paper's dimensions are about 21.5 cm by 27.9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation: The thickness of a sheet is 5.2/500 cm = 0.0104 cm

Vol = 0.0104*21.5*27.9

V = 6.23844 cc
