Formula & Mathematical Explanation

\displaystyle T_{\text{mins}} = \frac{N_{\text{words}}}{S_{\text{wpm}}}, \quad L_{\text{avg}} = \frac{N_{\text{chars}}}{N_{\text{words}}}

Estimates the time needed to read a text by dividing the word count by the average reading speed (WPM). Also determines the average word length by dividing characters by words.
