Question

5000 key depressions per hour means how many words per minute

Answer 1

Solution :-

The term 'Key depression' is used for the typing speed and the term 'Words per Minute' is used to measure the reading speed.

Key depressions per hour = 5000

Key depression per minute = 5000/60

= 83 key depressions per minute (Approximately)

When converting it into word per minute, the language in question plays an important.

In English, an average word consists of 4 - 5 characters. If we calculate with 4, then the equation is as follows.

⇒ 4x + x - 1 = 83

(x refers to the number of words and x - 1 refers to the number of spaces between words, which also counts as the total number of key depressions)

⇒ 5x = 83 + 1

⇒ 5x = 84

⇒ x = 84/5

⇒ x = 16.8 words per minute.

Calculation with 5 letters in a word -

⇒ 5x + x - 1 = 83

⇒ 6x = 83 + 1

⇒ 6x = 84

⇒ x = 84/6

⇒ x = 14 words per minute.
