Ronald reads 1,000 words in 5 minutes.Write untie rate would it be like 5/1000=200
Yes, 200 words a minute
1000 words per 5 minutes
= 1000/5 words per 1 minute
or simply 200 words/min
(you had 5/1000 which is not 200, but 1/200)
200
To find the reading rate, or words read per minute, we can divide the total number of words read by the time taken to read them. In this case, Ronald reads 1,000 words in 5 minutes.
Reading rate = Words read / Time taken
Substituting the given values,
Reading rate = 1000 / 5
Simplifying,
Reading rate = 200 words per minute
Therefore, Ronald's reading rate would be 200 words per minute.
