Answer:

≅ 6.98 km/h

Explanation:

Velocity =Distance/time ⇒ time = distance/speed

Total time = Time spend for 18 km + Time spend for 17 km

Time spend for 18 km = 18/6 ≅ 3 h

Time spend to 7 km = 7/12 ≅ 0.58 h*

Total time = 3.58 h

So average speed for total trip ≅ 25/3.58 ≅ 6.98 km/h

*time can be converted to minutes but the answer will be the same.
