    Average speed of the entire journey is 3.08 km/hr

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: In the first half, given that the speed = 4 km/h and time = 2 1/2 = 2.5 hrs. Calculate the distance covered.

    Distance = Speed * Time = 4 * 2.5 = 10 km

    Step 2: In the second half, given that speed = 2 1/2 = 2.5 km/hr and time = 4 hrs. Calculate the distance covered.

    Distance = 2.5 * 4 = 10 km

    Step 3: Calculate average speed.

    Average Speed = Total distance/Total time

    = 10 + 10/2.5 + 4 = 20/6.5

    = 3.08 km/hr
