120/60 = 2 messages a second

2*150 = 300messages in 150 seconds

your answer is (3) 300

In 150 seconds, the cell phone can receive 300 messages.

What is the division means?

The cell phone can receives 120 messages in a minute.

That can be written as:

60 seconds ⇔ 120 messages  

1 second ⇔ \(\frac{120}{60}\) messages = 2 messages per second.

150 second ⇔ 2 x (150) messages = 300 messages
