Answer:

[tex]3\frac{11}{18}[/tex] m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Caden walks 150m in 1 minute

A student blocks his way and he has to stop for 1 minute

He then walks 500m in 1 minute.

1 minute = 60 seconds

Let's use 's' to stand for seconds and 'm' to stand for meters.

Average speed = Total distance ÷ total time taken.

Total distance = 150m + 500m = 650m

Total time taken = 60s + 60s +  60s = 180s

Average speed = 650m ÷ 180s = [tex]\frac{650}{180} = 3\frac{11}{18}[/tex] m/s
