Determining how long it takes to read any text, whether the Bible or the Koran, is, at its core, a simple matter of arithmetic. Plug in the length of the text, divide by the average number of words per minute a reader can be expected to read, tap a few keys on the calculator, and you have your answer, expressed in minutes. A bit more division and you can have it expressed in hours, days, years, or whatever works for you. Of course, mathematics doesn't account for the need for a human reader to take breaks, or perhaps reread a section that didn't fully register, or the other variables of life. There's also a difference between reading and studying, too, so keep that in mind.

Nevertheless, mathematically speaking, the length of the Quran (77,000 words), divided by 200 words per minute (the average reading speed of an adult reading in English, per Iris Reading), means that the book can be finished in 385 minutes, or about six-and-a-half hours. Therefore, the average reader could start reading the Quran after lunch and have it finished by supper.
