It will take Samir approximately 32.94 minutes to type 2800 words.

To find out how long it will take Samir to type 2800 words, we can use the formula:

Samir can type 2800 words in 33 minutes

Solution:

Given that Samir can type 85 words per minute

To find: Time taken to type 2800 words

From given question,

1 minute = 85 words

Let "x" be the time taken to type 2800 words

Therefore,

1 minute = 85 words

"x" minute = 2800 words

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

$1 * 2800 = x * 85\\\\85x = 2800\\\\x = (2800)/(85)\\\\x = 32.9 \approx 33$

Thus Samir can type 2800 words in 33 minutes
