    Mary's average speed is 0.42 meters/second.

    Explanation:

    Mary's total travel was 250 meters and the elapsed time was 10 minutes, equivalent to 600 seconds.

    d = displacement = 80 meters + 125 meters + 45 meters = 250 meters

    t = time = 10 minutes. 60 seconds/minute = 600 seconds

    We can obtain now the average speed:

    s = average speed = displacement / time = 250 meters / 600 seconds ≅ 0.4167 ≅ 0.42
