Charlie can type faster than any of his classmates. He took a test that showed he can type 700 words in 5 minutes (WPM). The fastest recorded typing speed is shown in the chart below (we assume the speed is constant for the three minutes shown).

Does Charlie type faster than the record shown in the chart?

Minutes: 1 2 3
Words: 216 432 648

Choose 1 answer:
A. Yes, Charlie types faster than the record speed
B. No, Charlie types slower than the record speed
C. Charlie types at the same rate as the record speed
