In the middle hour the ship sailed at the average speed of the first and third hours. What was the total instance of the ship during the 3 hours of sailing?

C. 67.5.

E. 72.5.
Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
The distance in the first hour is 25 Km.
The speed in the third hour is (25/1.25 = 20 Km/h) and therefore the distance is 20 Km. The average speed is 22.2 Km/h and that is also the distance.
The total distance is 25 + 20 + 22.5 = 67.5 Km.
