Question

A speed reader can read 850 words per minute. An average reader can read 1/7 that speed. how many words per minute does an average reader read?

Answer 1

Answer:

About 121 words per minute or WPM.

Step-by-step explanation:

A reader can read 850 WPM. If an average reader can read 1/7 of that, you divide 850 by 7 to get your answer.

850/7 = 121.42....

Then you can round to the nearest tenth to 121.
