A car moves from point A to point B along a straight line. The car passes the first third of the distance with a constant velocity v1. The second third of the distance the car travels with a constant velocity v2 and for the last third of the distance the car moves with a velocity v3. What is the magnitude of its average velocity?

I got confused on how to come up with an expression for average velocity, anyone know how?
