The illustration below shows the position of a cross-country skier at various times. At each of the indicated times, the skier turns around and reverses the direction of travel. In other words, the skier moves from A to B to C to D. Use the illustration to determine the velocity of the skier during these three minutes.

You decided to have a morning jog to keep your body fit. You jog 100 meters, East in 150 seconds, made a left turn and jog 150 meters in 180 seconds, and finally made another left turn for 100 meters in 90 seconds. Describe your speed for the entire jog.
