On December 17,17, 1903,1903, at Kitty Hawk, N.C., the 19031903 Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard. \begin{tabular}[t]{|l|c|c|c|} \multicolumn{4}{c}{\textbf{December 17, 1903 Flights}}\\\hline &\textbf{Pilot}&\textbf{Time in Flight}&\textbf{Distance}\\\hline \textbf{First Flight}&Orville&1212~seconds&3737~meters\\\hline \textbf{Longest Flight}&Wilbur&5959~seconds&260260~meters\\\hline \end{tabular} The average speed for the first flight was xx meters per second. The average speed for the longest flight was yy meters per second. What is the average of xx and $y?$ Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.

On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, N.C., the 1903 Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard.

\begin{tabular}[t]{|l|c|c|c|}
\multicolumn{4}{c}{\textbf{December 17, 1903 Flights}}\\\hline
&\textbf{Pilot}&\textbf{Time in Flight}&\textbf{Distance}\\\hline
\textbf{First Flight}&Orville&12~seconds&37~meters\\\hline
\textbf{Longest Flight}&Wilbur&59~seconds&260~meters\\\hline
\end{tabular}

The average speed for the first flight was x meters per second. The average speed for the longest flight was y meters per second. What is the average of x and $y?$ Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
