Answer:

2 hours

She have alredy typed 700 words, that means the words that are left to type is 4300- 700 =3600

Therefkre the question is, how many minutes would it take for her to finish 3600 words

So the trick is

1min 30wordz

? 3600words

So u see the question mark? To get that, just use this trick

This shape "‍♂️" is multiply, this shape "‍♂️" is divide

Therefore in this case, take 3600 multiply 1min, divide 30, u will get 120min

Now your answer is 120min, or more specifically

2hours, since 1 hours = 60 minutes
