Answer:

None of these is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed can be derived from the sum of the total distance traveled and the total time taken.

Total distance = 4.9 + 1.9 = 6.8

Total time taken = 33 + 39 = 72

So;

Average speed =
(total distance)/(total time) =
(6.8)/(72) = 0.014

None of the answer choices given is correct.
