Answer:

156 2/3 km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed is found by dividing total distance by total time.

180 km/hr in 2 hrs is 360 miles

200 km/hr in 4 hrs is 800 miles

120 km/hr in 6 hrs is 720 miles

Total time is 12 hrs; Total distance 1880 hrs

Divide distance by time and you have 156 2/3 km/hr. This is your average speed.
