Answer:

72.5mph

Explanation:

There is an easy way to work this. Divide the miles he drove by 2 so that you know how much he drove in 1/5 hours.

29/2= 14.5miles driven in 1/5 hours

Now, just multiply that number by 5 so that you know how many miles he drove in 5/5 hours (one full hour).

14.5*5= 72.5miles
