How many sheets of paper equal a ton?

Answer 1

One tonne of paper is equal to 200, 000 sheets of A4 paper. (A number of sites report that it is equal to 40,000 sheets, but simple maths shows they are incorrect: Given...1 A4 page of 80gsm (gsm: Grams per Square Metre) 1m2 = 16 x A4 sheets So... 1 A4 sheets = 80g/16 = 5grams 1 tonne = 1,000,000grams Hence... 1 tonne = 1,000,000/5 A4 sheets = 200,000 A4 sheets)

Answer 2

Oh, dude, a ton of paper is equal to 200,000 sheets. So, like, if you've got a ton of paper lying around, you better start recycling or maybe consider becoming a paperweight enthusiast. Just imagine the look on people's faces when you tell them you have a literal ton of paper in your possession.

Answer 3

Paper is manufactured in varying 'weights' or densities. Usually measured in grams per square metre.

You would need to specify the particular paper.
