yes, in fact he can do it in just 4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

number of words he can text per hour=1500

number of words he can text in a minute=1500:60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we are dividing 1500 by 60 to get the answer in minutes)

=25 words per minute

number of minutes he has=5.

now, we have to multiply the number of words he can type in a minute by the number of minutes he has, so 25*5=125.

he can type 125 words in 5 minutes.
