Answer:

510 words

Explanation:

This is how I would solve this problem:

153 words = 3 minutes

153/3 = 3/3

51 words per minute

To find the number of words Ben can tye in 10 minutes, we need to multiply the unit rate (51:1) by 10. Like so:

51 words * 10 = 1 minute * 10

510 words = 10 minutes

This means that Ben can types 510 words in 10 minutes.
