    Average speed = 50.5/2.211 = 22.84 km/h

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First phase;

    Tarzan Swims a distance of 1.5 km at an average speed of 2.5 km/h,

    Time taken = 1.5/2.5 = 0.6 hour

    Second phase;

    cycles 40 km in 1 and 1/2 hours

    Time taken = 1.5 hours

    Third phase;

    Runs at 9km/h for1 1/9h

    Time taken = 1.111 hour

    Average speed = total distance travelled/total time taken

    Total distance travelled = 1.5+40+9 = 50.5km

    Total time taken = 0.6+1.5+1.111 = 2.211 hour

    Average speed = 50.5/2.211 = 22.84 km/h
