A ream of a certain brand of paper weighs about 3.225 pounds. A ream contains 500 sheets of paper. How much does a sheet of paper weigh?

A single sheet of paper should weigh: 0.00645 pound or   (in scientific notation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 3.225 (the weight of the ream of paper) by 500 (the amount of paper in a ream).

If you need the scientific notation form, simply move the decimal point/place right or left until you end up with a whole number that is between 1 and 10 (in this case, 3 times to the right), then determine what power of 10 it should be, depending on the number of times you moved the decimal place (in this case, the power is -3).

The power/exponent is determined by the direction you have to move your decimal point, right=negative and left=positive. For example, if you started off with the number 6450, you would move the decimal point 3 times to the left and your power would be positive 3, which results in .

Hope this helps!
