Answer:

Average speed: 0.1 km/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of a body is the ratio between the total distance covered and the time taken:


v=(d)/(t)

where

d = distance covered

t = time taken

In this problem, we have:

- Distance covered is the sum of the two distances:

d = 6.0 + 1.0 = 7.0 km

- Time taken is the sume of the two times:

t = 54 + 16 = 70 min

Therefore, the average speed is


v=(7.0)/(70)=0.1 km/min
