Can someone help me in this question please I am confused

Answer 1

b) The average speed at which he travelled for the whole journey

Explanation:

If he had travel 200- km/h and had broke down by which was at 10:30 a.m you would have to subtract 200 km/h to 10:30 your answer would be 189.7 when they back on the road also the speed slowed down a bit about 50 km/h so you would add 50 km/h to 20 mins you would get 70km/h they were traveling by, then you add all of the numbers up by 100 you would get 640 so your answer would be 640
