a taxi hurries for 1.8 hours with a constant speed of 113 km/h and then for another 5 hours 40 minutes
with a constant speed of 52 km/h what is its average speed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Find the total distance 

D = 1.8%2A113 + 52%2F3 . 52

and divide it by the total time spent 1.8 hours + 52%2F3 hours.

Do this arithmetic.
