A beetle crawling around on a desk walks 19 cm in 17 seconds to the right. It then changes direction and walks 6 cm in 6 seconds to the left. What is the average speed of the beetle in cm/s?

Answer: 11.5secs

Step-by-step explanation:

They said what the average speed is so to find the average you have to find the mean so 17secs + 6secs = 23secs / 2 = 11.5secs.
