700 words

) Given that Alexandra does 300 words in 3 minutes, let's set a proportion to find out how many words she types in 7 minutes

words minutes

300 ------------------ 3

x ------------------- 7

Since it is a proportion we can cross multiply those numbers

3x=7*300 Divide both sides by 3

x=7*100

x=700 words

2) So Alexandra types 700 words at this rate, in 7 minutes.
