Answer 4
Average velocity is given as
Average Velocity = total distance / total time
$v = \frac{d}{t}$
now it is given that
d = 12.2 miles
t = 3.4 hours
now we will use the above equation
$v = \frac{12.2}{3.4}$
$v = 3.6 mi/h$
So average speed is 3.6 mph

Answer 5
Average velocity is given as
Average velocity = total displacement / total time
now given that
total displacement = 8 miles
total time taken = 0.25 hours
now by above formula
$v = \frac{8}{0.25}$
$v = 32 mi/h$
So average velocity is 32 mph
