Given:
- 50 m in 10 s
- stopped for 120 s (0 m)
- 75 m in 30 s

Unknown:
- average speed including stop

Equation:
- v_avg = total distance / total time

Substitute:
- v_avg = (50 + 0 + 75) / (10 + 120 + 30) = 125 / 160

Solve:
- v_avg = 0.78125 m/s ≈ 0.78 m/s

Answer: 0.78 m/s (to the nearest hundredth).
