How Many Words is a 5 Page Paper And Other Facts About Academic Writing
In academic writing, precision is very important. The ability to follow instructions is part of meeting the standards of academia.

For example if the answer to how many paragraphs is five pages is 5, that means your instructor wants you to write a five paragraph essay that spans five pages. The answer to the question how many paragraphs is 5 pages double spaced is the same, however your word count will be smaller.

What a load of Horse dung.
