Verified Answer :

In order to find the average velocity  you have to divide the distance by the time and follow those steps

Step 1

Find the time

Subtract start time from ending time

\(1200-1115=45\ minutes\)

Convert minutes to hour

\(45\ minutes=\frac{3}{4}\ hour\)

Step 2

Find the velocity

we have

\(distance=6\ km\ North\)

\(time=\frac{3}{4}\ hour\)

\(V=\frac{6}{(3/4)}= \frac{6*4}{3}=8 \frac{Km}{h}North\)

therefore

the answer is

\(8 \frac{Km}{h}North\)
