The formula to calculate the Characters Per Minute (CPM) is:
\[ CPM = WPM \times CPW \]
Where:
Characters Per Minute (CPM) is a measure of typing speed, calculated by multiplying the words per minute (WPM) by the average number of characters per word (CPW). This metric helps to understand how many characters are typed in a minute, providing a more detailed view of typing efficiency.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Multiply the words per minute by the characters per word:
\[ 60 \times 5 = 300 \]
The Characters Per Minute (CPM) is 300 characters/min.
