Answer:

v = 72 km / h

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of average speed is the distance traveled between the time interval

v = Δx / Δt

let's find the distance traveled

x = 60 + 30

x = 90 km

time spent, all time must be included, travel time and when stopped

t = 0.45 + 0.15 + 0.5+ 0.15

t = 1.25 h

we substitute in the initial equation

v = 90 / 1.25

v = 72 km / h

in going from one city to the other
