Answer:

hello

Step-by-step explanation:

for average speed the total distance is important so.

and you must convert min to hour 15 min is 1/4 or 0.25 hour


s = (x)/(t) = (12)/(0.25) = 48 (km)/(h)

for average velocity the straight line distance is important so


v = (d)/(t) = (8)/(0.25) = 32 (km)/(h)

hope you understand
