The asteroid belt circles the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. One asteroid has a period of 5.0 earth years. What is the orbital radius and speed of the asteroid belt?

The table below lists the average distance R to the Sun and orbital period T of the first planets:

 

             Distance  Orbital Period
Mercury  0.39 AU    88 days
Venus    0.72 AU    225 days
Earth     1.00 AU    365 days
Mars      1.52 AU    687 days
