One third of the time a pedestrian walked at a speed of 3 km / h. The rest of the time is at a speed of 4.5 km / h. What is the average walking speed?

Suppose that for the first part of the path a pedestrian covered 3 km, then for the second part of the way, which is 2 times longer, he covered 4.5 * 2 = 9 km.

(3 + 9): 3 = 12: 3 = 4 km / h.

Answer: average speed is 4 km / h.
