Approximately three lines per day
There is a tradition that Virgil worked at about a rate of 3 lines per day. Since the poem is 9896 lines long, and we know that Virgil worked on it for the last ten years of his life, this approximation seems about right. The number of pages depends upon how many lines are printed on a page. If there are 30 lines per page, the answer is about a tenth of a page per day, or 10 days per page.
This is of course an average; one would expect that he wrote more on some days and none on others. It seems probable that the tradition of three lines per day was arrived at by just this calculation.

Why did vergil write the Aeneid?
There are many reasons why the Aeneid was written. First off it was a commissioned work that Vergil didn't really want to write but was forced to, and it was incomplete at the time of Vergil's death. Possible other reasons why it was written are to validate the origins of Rome as mandated by Fate and the Gods (establish lineage of Augustus/ Rome), depict the origin of the dispute with Carthage, and to teach. The teaching was more of a social than a academic teaching though, by reading or knowing the Aeneid children would learn the appropriate funeral practices, the importance of piety, and so many other morals.
