    11 hours 17 minutes
       
    2 hours 15 minutes
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Distance covered in north direction is d1=91 miles

Time taken to cover distance d1 is t1=4 hours 10 minutes

Then the person stop for a while in the park.

Another distance covered in north direction is d2=28 miles

Time taken to cover distance d2 is t2=4 hours 52 minutes

Average velocity during the entire journey is vavg= 10.54 miles per hour to the north.

Note:

1 hour=60 minutes

Find:
