Gọi S(m) là độ dài mỗi quãng đường (S>0)
\(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}t_1=\dfrac{S}{v_1}=\dfrac{S}{12}\left(s\right)\\t_2=\dfrac{S}{v_2}=\dfrac{S}{8}\left(s\right)\\t_3=\dfrac{S}{v_3}=\dfrac{S}{6}\left(s\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(v_{tb}=\dfrac{3S}{t_1+t_2+t_3}=\dfrac{3S}{\dfrac{S}{12}+\dfrac{S}{8}+\dfrac{S}{6}}\)
\(=\dfrac{S}{\dfrac{3}{8}S}=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{3}{8}}=\dfrac{8}{3}\left(m/s\right)\)
