Answer:

3.6m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must find the total distance and the total time taken. We then plug it into the equation defined below:

Average speed =
(total distance)/(total time taken)

Total distance = 10m + 8m = 18m

Total time taken = 2s + 3s = 5s

So;

Average speed =
(18)/(5) = 3.6m/s
