Points Per Minute Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Points Per Minute is:

\[ \text{PPM} = \frac{P}{PT} \]

Where:

\(\text{PPM}\) is the Points Per Minute (points/min)
\(P\) is the total points scored
\(PT\) is the total time played (min)

What is Points Per Minute?

Points Per Minute (PPM) is a metric that measures the average number of points scored per minute of play. It is calculated by dividing the total points scored by the total time played. This metric helps in understanding the scoring efficiency of a player or team.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Total Points Scored (P): 120
Total Time Played (PT): 40 minutes

Using the formula:

\[ \text{PPM} = \frac{120}{40} = 3 \text{ points/min} \]

Example 2:

Total Points Scored (P): 75
Total Time Played (PT): 25 minutes

Using the formula:

\[ \text{PPM} = \frac{75}{25} = 3 \text{ points/min} \]
