You can put this solution on YOUR website!

If you drive for t=3h at s=60%28mil%2Fh%29, you will travel distance
d%5B1%5D=60%28mil%2Fh%29%2A3h
d%5B1%5D=180%28mil%2Fcross%28h%29%29%2Across%28h%29
d%5B1%5D=180mil
and then for t=2h at s=70%28mil%2Fh%29 you will travel distance
d%5B2%5D=70%28mil%2Fh%29%2A2h
d%5B2%5D=140mil
all together, you will travel distance d=d%5B1%5D%2Bd%5B2%5D=180mil%2B140mil=320mil
