Her velocity is 10 km/hr.

Given data:

The distance of the path is d=25 km.

The time taken by Jessica is t=2.5 hrs.

The velocity of Jessical can be calculated as,


\begin{gathered} v=(d)/(t) \\ v=\frac{25km}{2.5\text{ hr}} \\ v=(10km)/(hr) \end{gathered}

Thus, the velocity of Jessica is 10 km/hr.
