Answer:

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

In this case, Luca runs 75 meters east and then 55 meters east, so the total distance is 75 + 55 = 130 meters. The total time is 100 seconds for the first part and 225 seconds for the second part, so the total time is 100 + 225 = 325 seconds.

Average Speed = 130 meters / 325 seconds

Average Speed = 0.4 meters per second

soo Luca's average speed is 0.4 meters per second.
