The total distance travelled is 1075.91 km.

<h3>What is average speed?</h3>

The average speed is the total distance traveled by the object in a particular time interval. The average speed is a scalar quantity.

45 * (x +12)= 50* 1/5 + 1/2 *x

45x + 540= 10+ 0.5 x

44.5 x = 530

x= 11.91 (neglect the negative sign cause time can't be negative)

So, distance= 45* 23.91 = 1075.91 Km
