To find average velocity when an object travels at each velocity for a different period of time you cannot sum the velocities and then divide by the number of velocities.
vavg = (v1+v2+v3)/3 is not right unless delta t1 =delta t2 =delta t 3.
In other words this method only works when the time periods are the same for each velocity.
