To calculate the average speed for the entire trip, we'll use the formula:

\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]

### Step 1: Calculate the Total Distance
From the earlier calculation:

- **First Segment**: 36 km
- **Second Segment**: 23.75 km
- **Third Segment**: 35.87 km

Total distance:
\[
\text{Total Distance} = 36 \, \text{km} + 23.75 \, \text{km} + 35.87 \, \text{km} = 95.62 \, \text{km}
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the Total Time
The total time includes both driving and the break:

- **Driving Time**: 88 minutes
- **Break Time**: 23 minutes

Total time:
\[
\text{Total Time} = 111 \, \text{minutes} = \frac{111}{60} \, \text{hours} = 1.85 \, \text{hours}
\]

### Step 3: Calculate the Average Speed
Now, we can calculate the average speed:

\[
