The average speed is equal to the total distance covered in a specific interval of time. Since we are given with the information on distance and time, all we have to do is divide them.

Average speed = 3.79 km/6.93 h = 0.547 km/h

Hence, you should not have a speed less than 0.547 km/h if you want to catch the sunset.
