A ream of paper contains 500 sheets. A quire of paper contains  1/20 of a ream. How many sheets of paper are in a quire?

To find out how many sheets of paper are in a quire, we need to calculate $ \frac{1}{20} $ of a ream, since a quire is 1/20th of a ream.

Given:
- A ream contains 500 sheets.

So, the number of sheets in a quire is:

\[
\text{Sheets in a quire} = \frac{1}{20} \times 500 = \frac{500}{20} = 25
\]

Therefore, a quire contains **25 sheets** of paper.
