Question 117203: Suppose Sashac, a champion bicyclist, wants to see how far he can travel in an hour. He stats timing himself when he reaches a speed of 45 miles/hour. He maintains this speed for 10 minutes. Sascha starts to feel tired and slows down to 30 m/h for the next 5 minutes. He then reduces his speed to 25 m/h for the next 30 minutes. Finally, Sascha feels exhausted as he finishes the last 15 minutes at 15 m / h. I get the average speed he travels is 28.75 but get that he travels only 26.25 and if he travels for an hour it doesn't make sense what did I do wrong.
