How many pages is a 450-word essay?

I've got a 450-word essay due soon and I'm curious to know how many pages it typically amounts to. Does anyone have a general idea? Thanks for the help!

A 450-word essay typically amounts to approximately 1.5 to 2 pages, depending on the formatting. If you're using standard formatting with 12-point font, 1-inch margins, and double-spacing, you'll most likely end up close to 1.5 pages.

With single-spacing and the same formatting settings, your essay will be closer to 1 page. Keep in mind that the exact number of pages might also vary a bit depending on the font type you use. Good luck with your essay!
