The number of words on 3 pages, double spaced, with a 12-point font (usually Times New Roman or Arial) depends on several factors such as margins and paragraph spacing, but a common estimate is:

• One double-spaced page with 12-point font typically contains about 250 to 300 words.
• Therefore, 3 pages double spaced would be approximately 750 to 900 words.

Breakdown:

• Font size: 12 pt
• Line spacing: Double
• Margins: Usually 1 inch all around
• Words per page: ~250-300

So if you’re writing an essay or document with these settings, expect around 800 words for 3 double-spaced pages. If you want a more precise count, you can check the word count feature in your word processor after formatting your text.
