Solution
Total distance covered 480 km.
The first-day distance covered 48 km.
The second-day distance covered 40 km.
The third-day distance covered 32 km.
Number of observations = 3
Average speed = HM = `"N"/(sum 1/"x")`
= `3/((1/48 + 1/40 + 1/32))`
= `3/(((10 + 12 + 15)/480))`
= `(3 xx 480)/37`
= 38.9189
= 38.92 km/hr
