Answer: 9.5h

Step-by-step explanation:

He drove 260 miles in 5 hours. He has 494 more miles to drive.

First, calculate the average speed. You can do this by dividing the amount of miles by the time.

[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{260mi}{5h}\\ v=52mph[/tex]

Now calculate how long it will take him to drive 494 miles.

[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{494mi}{52mph} \\t=9.5h[/tex]
