If a car went the first third of the distance at 80 kmh, the second third at 18 kmh, and the last third at 48 kmh, what was the average speed of the car for the entire trip?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 34 kmh  B) 40 kmh  C) 42 kmh  D) 44 kmh  E) 50 kmh
34 kmhssume D/3 = 720 (this number is convenient because it is divisible by 80, 18 and 48)   So:   720 = 80*T1 = 9 hrs   720 = 18*T2 = 40 hrs   720 = 48*T3 = 15 hrs   T = T1 + T2 + T3 = 64 hrs   D = RT   (720*3) = R*64   R = 33.75   34 kmhNSWER: 34 kmh
