Answer:

80.26km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

speed formulae is speed =distance travelled ÷ time taken

so, we first calculate the first one that is 215÷ 3.50 to get 61.4...

then, we calculate the second that is 175÷1.50 to get 116.67

Then, we calculate the third one that is 345÷5.50 to get 62.7

Then we add all of the three value we calculated that is 61.4+ 116.67 + 62.7 to get 240.77

then we divide 240.77 by 3 to get the average speed that is 80.26km/hr
