Last Thursday, I went for a walk through my neighborhood. I started at my house. My smart watch told me that I walked a total of 3.5 miles. I started my walk at 5 pm and ended at 8 pm. At the end of my walk, I was 50 meters north of my house visiting a neighbor. I wanted to find my average velocity on the trip. My distance walked was 3.5 miles. My time was 3 hours. To find velocity, I used my calculator to find 3.5 miles divided by 3 hours which equaled 1.16 miles per hour. Did I accurately calculate my velocity? If not, what did I do wrong and what was my correct velocity?
