To find out how many words Maxine types in 11 minutes, we can first determine her typing rate in words per minute.

Maxine types 294 words in 7 minutes, so we calculate her typing rate as follows:

\[ \text{Words per minute} = \frac{\text{Total words}}{\text{Total minutes}} = \frac{294 \text{ words}}{7 \text{ minutes}} = 42 \text{ words per minute} \]

Now, to find out how many words she types in 11 minutes, we multiply her typing rate by the number of minutes:

\[ \text{Words in 11 minutes} = 42 \text{ words per minute} \times 11 \text{ minutes} = 462 \text{ words} \]

So, in 11 minutes, Maxine types 462 words.

The correct answer is 462 words.
