speed=distance/time
Add the total distances up: 2800+1500+1000=5300 km
Solve for time for all parts (remember units)
t=distance/speed
Part A: 2800/700=4 hours
Part B: 1500/500=3 hours
Part C: 1000/400=2.5 hours
Then add all time parts up
4+3+2.5=9.5 hours
Then finally solve for speed total
speed=distance/time
speed=5300 km/9.5 hours
Speed=557.89 km/h
