The average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total travel time. The time for the first leg of the trip is the distance traveled on the first leg divided by the speed of the first leg. The time for the second leg is the distance traveled on the second leg divided by the speed of the second leg. Add the two distances and divide the sum by the sum of the two times.
