k == kilo == 1,000 == 10e3
That means 1,750 reads/second and 920 writes/second were your maximum values.
But that should also be clear from your graph... Looking at my graph below, you can see read maximum values of 1,753 very prominently...

Yes, the sum of these at any point in time would be your IOPS. – ewwhite Dec 16 '13 at 01:26
