Answer:

24 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate of distance traveled in a defined time. Average speed is to take calculate the total distance travel at different speeds dividing by the total time taken.

Total Time = 4 hours

Total Distance = 68 km + 3 km + 25 km = 96 km

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time taken= 96 km / 4 hours

Average Speed = 24 km per hour
