Its average SPEED is 61 km/hr. We have no way to say anything about its velocity because we have no information describing its direction of travel.

You haven't given us any direction. Velocities have directions as they are vectors. Vectors have both magnitudes and directions.

I'm assuming you want the constant speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Therefore:

Speed = (305 km) / (5 hours)

= (5 x 61 km) / ( 5 hours)

= 61 km per hour
