* Paragraph length: Shorter paragraphs mean more paragraphs per page.
* Writing style: Some styles naturally lead to more or fewer paragraphs. A very descriptive style might have more, while a concise style might have fewer.
* Topic and argument: Complex topics might require more paragraphs to develop fully.
A 7-page paper could have anywhere from a few dozen to over a hundred paragraphs. It's the *content* and its organization that matters, not a specific paragraph count.
