I've asked you this same question yesterday:

So how far does Sally travel in 31.5 min at 81.8 km/h plus 14 min at 102 km/h plus 52.2 min at 53.8 km/h?

Did you get an answer? if so, you should be able to divide the distance by the total time for the trip, which now includes the stops.

TTFN,
Eden

!Thanks for the help!
