Answer:

30 words

Explanation:

her typing speed is 150 words for 5 minutes.
Since we know that she can type 5 times as much in 5 minutes than in 1 minute, we know that 150 words is 5 times as much as she would be able to type in 1 minute. The question that should be asked is "5 times what would equal 150?" The answer would be 30 words.

Shorter answer: 150 words / 5 minutes = 30 words/minute
