1. The problem is to find how many words should be in the answer to each question if the total words to cover range from 1000 to 8000 words across 4 questions. 2. We use the formula for the average number of words per question: $$\text{Words per question} = \frac{\text{Total words}}{\text{Number of questions}}$$ 3. Since the total words range from 1000 to 8000, we calculate the minimum and maximum words per question: Minimum words per question: $$\frac{1000}{4} = 250$$ Maximum words per question: $$\frac{8000}{4} = 2000$$ 4. Therefore, each question should have between 250 and 2000 words in its answer to cover the total word range. This means the answers per question vary depending on the total word count but must be within this range.
