* Sentences per paragraph: 5
* Words per sentence (average): Let's assume an average of 10 words per sentence (this can vary greatly depending on the writing style).
* Words per paragraph: 5 sentences * 10 words/sentence = 50 words
Now, to find the number of paragraphs:
* Total words: 500
* Paragraphs: 500 words / 50 words/paragraph = 10 paragraphs
Therefore, 500 words would make approximately 10 paragraphs if each paragraph has 5 sentences (assuming an average of 10 words per sentence).
