Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find the average number of words per minute, we use the formula: $\text{Words per minute} = \frac{\text{Total words}}{\text{Total minutes}}$.

Step2: Substitute the values

Here, total words = 1500 and total minutes = 3. So, $\text{Words per minute} = \frac{1500}{3}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{1500}{3} = 500$.
