Find the time of each of the 3 stages: Time = dist/speed
Change meters to km, divide by 1000 and you have
Stage 1 + Stage 2 + Stage 3
+ +
:
The common denominator: 25.2*18*27 = 12700.8
= = = .072321 hr
:
.072321 & 60 = 4.34 min or about 4 min 20.4 sec
:
Average speed, (speed = dist/time):
= = 20.74 km/hr
