Final answer:

Nick travels 109.375 yards in 1 hour at the same speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how far Nick travels in 1 hour, we can use the given information that Nick travels 29 yards in 16 of an hour.

To find out how far he travels in 1 hour, we need to find the distance he covers in 1 minute and then multiply it by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour).

So, the distance Nick travels in 1 hour is (29 yards / 16 minutes) * 60 minutes = 109.375 yards (rounded to 3 decimal places).
