Answer:

Average speed = 40.50 km/h (Approx)

Explanation:

Distance = Time × Speed

Total distance = (40/60) 50 + (8/60) 70 + (35/60) 35

Total distance = 33.33 km + 9.33 km + 20.17 km

Total distance = 62.80 km

Average speed = Total distance / Total time taken

Average speed = 62.80 / [(40+8+35+40)/60]

Average speed = 62.80 / 1.55

Average speed = 40.50 km/h (Approx)
