Answer 2

Answer: Mr. Thompson drive 17 miles per day for work.

Since we have given that

Number of miles round trip last week for work = 85 miles

Number of days = 5 days

We need to find the number of miles per day i.e. Speed.

As we know the formula for "Speed":

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)=(85)/(5)=17\ miles/day`

Hence, Mr. Thompson drive 17 miles per day for work.
