Is one volume of, lets say for example, Naruto the equivalent of one episode of the show? (dumb question I know
 )

Not in my experience. Even if you're talking about chapters. From what I've seen, one anime episode is usually a two to three manga chapters.

Depends upon the length of a chapter. Some shows might go only one chapter, others will probably go 2-4 chapters. It ranges.

No way, it took Beck: Mongolian Chop squad the anime 2 1/2 episodes to get to the end of volume 1 of the Beck manga.

Depends on the anime and depends on the manga. Some anime series cover two or even three volumes of the original manga in the span of one episode, and some only cover half a volume or a single chapter. Depends on how much time the series has, how much manga is plans to cover, and just how much stuff actually happened in that one volume of manga.
In the case of manga that are adapting anime series (G Gundam, Wolf's Rain, etc.), it'll usually be about 10-20 episodes into one heavily compressed manga volume. As for Naruto, I don't remember it being a fixed rate. The first couple episodes are roughly an episode per chapter, but it starts to change later on. |

The Inuyasha anime usually covers one manga volume in three episodes. I can't think of many others that I'd watch and think, "Oh, that covered chapters X-Y of volume Z."

On average, I say a single volume usually cover about 3 or 4 episode. Genshiken was made into a 12 episode series on 3 volumes, same with hellsing. |

That's a good number to generally go on, but to more extreme cases of adaptation, a series like One Piece can pull about 7 or 8 episodes out of one volume. |

most shonen series I've come across it's usually 3 chapters to an episode. I guess this can apply to any weekly series. Monthly series is usually one episode, one chapter such as FMA.

Generally its not the case but there are always exceptions to the rule. It might not count seeing as its an OVA, but the new Hellsing Ultimate is covering one volume per episode. It did of course result in the first episode being 53ish minutes long. But it was also did a spectacular job of sticking to the manga.

No. I think it very's depending upon the anime or manga. In normal manga, which isn't to graphc or gorey, it would be like:1 episode= 3 or four chapters. But, if the manga is kinda graphic they may leave a few chapters out. Thus making an even shorter anime.

i think it more or less depends on the substance of the manga, if the manga has fight scenes, the anime may try to elongate *sry if i mispelled that* the scene, i know flcl was only 2 books but was 6 episodes (can't remember how many chapters)

FLCL was an adaptation and about 2 episodes where shaved off. It was 7 chapters but all of them included at least 2 subsections. |
