What was the average speed of the finch for this 4 minute interval?

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.065 m/s. After 2.0 minutes the finch tires of the tortoise's slow pace, and takes flight in the same direction for another 2.0 minutes at 14 m/s. What was the average speed of the finch for this 4 minute interval?
