Answer:

average speed = 18 miles / hour

Given data

drive = 396 miles

time = 8 am Tuesday to 5 pm Wednesday = 33 hours

lunch = 30 min Tuesday  + 30 min Wednesday = 60 min = 1 hour

sleep = 7 pm Tuesday to  5 am Wednesday = 10 hours

to find out

average speed

we know that he take total time = 33 hours and he took rest + luch = ( 1 + 10 hours)

average speed = 396 / 22
