Answer:

Average speed of entire trip is : 3.67 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is calculated as the distance covered divided by time

Average speed will be the :speed before stop add to speed after stopping then divide by 2

Speed before stop = 200/ 60 = 3.33 m/s

Speed after stop = 400/100= 4m/s

Average speed = (3.33+4)/2 = 7.33/2 = 3.67 m/s
