Reading Time worksheet

1. Reading speed: 240 words per minute

1. Turn the time into minutes, so it matches a speed in words per minute

   $5+\frac{0}{60}$$=5\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Find your speed: the words you read ÷ the minutes it took

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,200}}{5}$$=240\text{\hspace{0.17em}wpm}$

2. Reading speed: 263 words per minute

1. Turn the time into minutes, so it matches a speed in words per minute

   $4+\frac{0}{60}$$=4\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Find your speed: the words you read ÷ the minutes it took

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,050}}{4}$$=262.5\text{\hspace{0.17em}wpm}$

3. Reading time: 6.5 min

1. Find the reading time: the word count ÷ your speed in words per minute

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,825}}{280}$$=6.517857\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Turn the minutes into hours, minutes and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, so it's easier to read

   $6.517857\times 60$$=391.07\text{\hspace{0.17em}s}$$=\text{6 min 31 s}$

4. Reading time: 8.7 min

1. Find the reading time: the word count ÷ your speed in words per minute

   $\frac{\mathrm{2,400}}{275}$$=8.727273\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Turn the minutes into hours, minutes and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, so it's easier to read

   $8.727273\times 60$$=523.64\text{\hspace{0.17em}s}$$=\text{8 min 44 s}$

5. Reading time: 9 min

1. Find the reading time: the word count ÷ your speed in words per minute

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,800}}{200}$$=9\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Turn the minutes into hours, minutes and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, so it's easier to read

   $9\times 60$$=540\text{\hspace{0.17em}s}$$=\text{9 min}$

6. Reading time: 5.7 min

1. Find the reading time: the word count ÷ your speed in words per minute

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,600}}{280}$$=5.714286\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Turn the minutes into hours, minutes and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, so it's easier to read

   $5.714286\times 60$$=342.86\text{\hspace{0.17em}s}$$=\text{5 min 43 s}$

7. Reading time: 7.9 min

1. Find the reading time: the word count ÷ your speed in words per minute

   $\frac{\mathrm{2,750}}{350}$$=7.857143\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Turn the minutes into hours, minutes and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, so it's easier to read

   $7.857143\times 60$$=471.43\text{\hspace{0.17em}s}$$=\text{7 min 51 s}$

8. Reading speed: 275 words per minute

1. Turn the time into minutes, so it matches a speed in words per minute

   $4+\frac{0}{60}$$=4\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Find your speed: the words you read ÷ the minutes it took

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,100}}{4}$$=275\text{\hspace{0.17em}wpm}$

9. Reading speed: 300 words per minute

1. Turn the time into minutes, so it matches a speed in words per minute

   $4+\frac{0}{60}$$=4\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Find your speed: the words you read ÷ the minutes it took

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,200}}{4}$$=300\text{\hspace{0.17em}wpm}$

10. Reading time: 13.1 min

1. Find the reading time: the word count ÷ your speed in words per minute

   $\frac{\mathrm{1,900}}{145}$$=13.103448\text{\hspace{0.17em}min}$

2. Turn the minutes into hours, minutes and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, so it's easier to read

   $13.103448\times 60$$=786.21\text{\hspace{0.17em}s}$$=\text{13 min 6 s}$
