the answer would be 100.
this is because ben is most likely to type words in an equal amount of time.
you can solve this by first finding how many words ben can type in ONE minute. this results in division or 150 divided by 3 which gives 50.
since the question is asking about TWO minutes, you add 50 two times or multiply 50 by 2 which will either way give you 100

Ben can type 100 words in 2 minutes. Since 50 can go into 150 three times, you do 50 x 2 which is 100 words in two minutes.
