Of course, I can help you with that!

To calculate Joe's average speed per hour, we need to divide the total distance he drove by the time taken.

First, let's convert 9 hours 15 minutes to 9.25 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 15 minutes by 60 and add the result to the whole number of hours:

9 hours + (15 minutes ÷ 60) = 9 hours + 0.25 hours = 9.25 hours

Now, we can calculate the average speed per hour by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken:

538 miles ÷ 9.25 hours = 58.16 miles per hour (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, Joe's average speed per hour was approximately 58.16 miles.
