2. Do not round-off during calculations. 3 Summarize and write your final answers in 3-decimal places. Enclose your final answer/s in a box. Problem 1 A man drives his Mercedes Benz down south a straight road at 5.2 km at 40 kph at which point he ran out of gas. The man walked 1.5km farther to the nearest gas station S25°W in 25 minutes. What is the average velocity and average speed of the driver from the time. that the car started to the time the driver arrived at the gas station?
