Final answer:

Uncle Drew averaged 4.51613 points per minute during that 5 and 6/5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average points per minute, we need to divide the total number of points scored by the total number of minutes. Uncle Drew scored 28 points in 5 and 6/5 minutes. To convert 6/5 to a decimal, we need to divide 6 by 5, which equals 1.2. Now, we can add the whole number and the decimal: 5 + 1.2 = 6.2. So Uncle Drew played for 6.2 minutes.

To find the average points per minute, we divide the total points (28) by the total time (6.2 minutes): 28 / 6.2 = 4.51613.

Therefore, Uncle Drew averaged approximately 4.51613 points per minute during that 5 and 6/5 minutes.
