Answer 1

@jabez177

Answer 2

do you know the formula for velocity?

Answer 3

yeah but that doesnt help with this

Answer 4

it does because velocity is divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that same distance,

Answer 5

if you divide 17 by 6 you get 2.8333 or round it to get 2.8

so thats the answer?
