To determine how many words Julia could type in 11 minutes, we first need to find her typing rate in words per minute.

Julia typed 374 words in 5 minutes, so her rate is:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{374 \text{ words}}{5 \text{ minutes}} = 74.8 \text{ words per minute} \]

Now, we multiply her rate by 11 minutes to find out how many words she could type in that time:

\[ \text{Words in 11 minutes} = 74.8 \text{ words/minute} \times 11 \text{ minutes} = 822.8 \text{ words} \]

Since she can't type a fraction of a word, we round down to 822 words.

Therefore, the answer is 822 words.
