An ant crawls in a straight line at a constant speed of 0.24 m/s for a distance of 3.0 m, beginning in the corner of a square classroom. It then turns exactly 90 degrees to the right, and proceeds an additional 4.00 m, reaching the far corner of the same wall from which it began. If the second leg was also crawled in half the amount of time as required for the first leg, what was the ant’s average speed for the whole trip?

A. 0.80 m/s
B. 0.27 m/s
C. 0.37 m/s
D. 0.44 m/s


C. 0.37 m/s
