1. How many chapters does one volume of a random Light Novel usually have?
2. Can a story written in one chapter of a Light Novel be compared to one episode of an Anime about the same thing? Is the lenght of what happened around the same?
Thanks.
Sorry for possible grammer mistakes, am writting this from my Nexus 4, hehe.

1. Hmm, well it depends on how long the author makes his/her chapters...
I would like to say around seven chapters, but that's for authors who make pretty short chapters. There are other series with only 3 chapters per book, but each chapter is looong!
I think if I told you an average LN was around 200 pages, your question would be answered better?
2. This depends on other factors, mainly how much story an author likes to put in one chapter, and then how much story the anime director wants to put in one episode. This answer varies per series. One series I know (Monogatari), the animation company wanted to adapt 5 novels into 15 episodes, so each book got 2-3 episodes. Another series I know (Shakugan no Shana), the animation company took 10 eps just to explain the first two novels.
