On a distance-time graph, a courier rides out and back. From 0 to 2 hours the line rises from 0 to 40 km. From 2 to 3 hours it is flat at 40 km (a stop). From 3 to 5 hours it falls from 40 km back to 0 km.
What was the courier's average speed (km/h) for the whole 5-hour trip, counting total distance travelled (out and back)?
