Answer: 127.5

Step-by-step explanation: The key word in this problem is per, which means multiplication. So you would multiply 51 x 2.5 and you would get 127.5.

Joe can type 7650 words in 2.5 hours.
First find how many minutes there are in 2.5 hours. So 60+60+30=150
Then multiply 150 by 51 and you get 7650
