The formula to convert characters per minute (CPM) to words per minute (WPM) is:
\[ WPM = \frac{CPM}{5} \]
Where:
Words per minute (WPM) is a measure of typing speed, commonly used to assess the efficiency of typists, writers, and keyboard users. The standard measure of WPM is based on the assumption that a word consists of five characters, including spaces and punctuation. WPM is an important metric for jobs that require proficient typing skills.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to convert CPM to WPM:
\[ WPM = \frac{300}{5} = 60 \text{ WPM} \]
This means that the words per minute for this example is approximately 60 WPM.
