Answer:

4.8 points per minute

Explanation:

Uncle Drew scored 28 points in
5 (5)/(6) minutes. We have to convert the mixed fraction first:


t = 5 (5)/(6)=(5\cdot 6+5)/(6)=(35)/(6)

So, the time is 35/6 minutes.

In order to find the number of points he scored in a minute, we have to divide the total number of points by the number of minutes, so:


mean = (28)/(35/6)=28 \cdot (6)/(35)=4.8

So, he scored 4.8 points per minute.
