V - an overal average speed S - a total distance t - a total time V = S/t S = V1*t1 + V2*t2 + V3*t3 V1, V2, V3 - average speeds for each gear changes t = t1 + t2 + t3 t1, t2, t3 - times for each gear changes Finally: V = (V1*t1 + V2*t2 + V3*t3)/( t1 + t2 + t3) = (20*2+40*2+60*6)/(2+2+6)=48 m/s Answer: the overall average speed equals 48 m/s
