Answer: " 86 words per minute "

______________________________________________

Explanation:

______________________________________________

We are looking for the "unit rate" ; or "rate per [single] unit" ;

in this case, "words per [single} minute" ; that is "words per minute"

Given: "301 words per 3.5 minutes" ;

or: " 301 words / 3.5 min. " ;

= " (301 / 3.5) words/ min.

= " 86 words / min. "

_______________________________________________

The answer is: " 86 words per minute " .

Hope this helps!

Best wishes!
