Shelly types 301 words in 3 1/2 minutes what is the rate at which shelly types in words per minute?

 " 86 words per minute "

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the "unit rate" ; or "rate per [single] unit" ;

in this case, "words per [single} minute" ; that is "words per minute"

Given:   "301 words per 3.5 minutes" ;

or:   " 301 words / 3.5 min. " ;

      =  " (301 / 3.5)  words/ min.

      =  " 86 words / min. "

The answer is:  " 86 words per minute " .

Hope this helps!

    Best wishes!
