Answer:

250

Explanation:

25x2 (wpm) * 5 (minutes) = 250
words per minute means words typed every minute. if ben types 50 words per minute, this means he can type 250 words in 5 minutes.

(sorry for edit, i misread words in half minute as words per minute, credit to lina6561 for making me realize)
