It takes a bus driver 30 minutes to pick up students from four stops. The last stop is at the corner of Green Street and Route 70. The most direct route to school is north on Route 70. The speed limit on Route 70 is 35 kph. The bus driver wants to calculate the average velocity from the last stop to school. Can this be done from the information given?

I may be wrong!!,  but to calculate velocity you need the time taken / change in velocity so therefore because you don't have the time taken from the last stop to the school I don't think its possible to complete the equation.

No, the distance from the first stop to the school and the average speed are required
