Need to check answer only get one chance Physics!!!?

A relay race is run along a straight-line track of length 300.0 m running south to north. The first runner starts at the south end of the track and passes the baton to a teammate at the north end of the track. The second runner races back to the start line and passes the baton to a third runner who races 100.0 m northward to the finish line. The magnitudes of the average velocities of the first, second, and third runners during their parts of the race are 6.94 m/s, 6.60 m/s, and 7.78 m/s, respectively. What is the average velocity of the baton for the entire race? [Hint: You will need to find the time spent by each runner in completing her portion of the race.]

I got 6.97 m/s But I dont really know what im doing.

Could anyone help me out please

1st 100/6,94 s

2nd 100/6,60 s

3th 100/7,78 s

avarage velocity = Total length / Total Time = 300/(100/6,94 + 100/6,60 + 100/7,78) = 7,07 s
