Depends on the chapter in a volume and the the contents of it. Its usually 2 to 4 episodes long.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Some manga I read has like 3-4 chapter each volume. You could easily make an entire episode with just one chapter of said manga volume. But it depends.
I'd say 1 volume could probably be about 2-4 episodes, depending on the manga. Otherwise, it might be rushed and they'd skip a lot.

In my experience there is no clean metric, since many chapters have many different lengths. I mean Nichijou is a great example. The first volume is 18 chapters, and it comprised mostly of four panel comics. Then there's Youjo Senki which has only like 3 chapters per volume. It only really works if there is not many changes between them which is not usually the case.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

Some 12 episode shows likely 3-4 episodes for ones I've compared to whether 1 manga or 1 light novel volume per those 3-4 episodes, so 3-4 volumes per 12 episode season, how much they compress of scenes, cut out, and so on.

For 4komas if a comedy/story based slice of life it's hard to tell I think. If 24 episodes maybe 5-6 volumes maybe. If it's a more 3 minute, 8 minute, 12 minute short form show maybe the same maybe less it depends on the chapters, how many chapters are in a volume.

Some maybe a bit more or a bit less. I mean with some that have very few chapters they can get by, with more scenes/panels and more cut to fit it is probably more likely then more comedy/slice of life ones with fewer (in some series not all).

I get surprised by how many chapters or pages per chapter different series scale by. Not only for the cost of the manga varying and by publisher/licensor but just in general.

It varies from series to series what content the anime will cover. There is no scale just commonness you can sort of guess/see from series to series, season to season of said series events.
