OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

First you have to add the distances

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

I must be serious, this is confusing, at most. I understand why this is dificult. I dont know how to solve it, either. Im giving the spotlight to @Broskishelleh

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

So 800 + 500 + 1200 = 2500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

Then divide by the time 10 + 5 + 13 = 28

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

\[2500\div28\]
