    Average speed = 65 miles per hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mike drove 100 miles in 2hrs

    He stopped to take lunch then;

    drove 420 miles in 6hrs

    Total distance covered = 100 + 420 miles = 520 miles

    Total time taken = 2 + 6 hrs = 8hrs

    Average speed = Total distance : total time = 520/8 = 65 miles per hour
