A person travels by car from one city to
another with different constant speeds between pair of cities. She drives for 33.6 min
at 77.8 km/h, 13.2 min at 99.7 km/h, and
57.4 min at 40.5 km/h, and spends 21.2 min
eating lunch and buying gas.
Find the distance between the initial and
final cities along this route.

Correct answer: 49.8789 km/h.

Correct answer: 104.247 km.
