I am having trouble with an average speed problem. The problem states that a person walks at 4.5 meters per second from point a to b. Then walks back from point b to a at a speed of 3.2 m/s. I know that average speed is displacement/time. However I am not sure how to calculate time or displacement from the two givens. The problem also gives that the average velocity is 0.
