Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf v= 0.08 \ km/min \ North}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is found by dividing the displacement by the time.


v=(s)/(t)

where s is the displacement and t is the time.

The displacement is 1.6 kilometers, but it needs a direction as well. The question notes you walked North. The time is 20 minutes.


s= 1.6 \ km \ North \\t= 20 \ min


v=\frac{1.6 \ km \ North} { 20 \ min}

Divide.


v= 0.08 \ km/min \ North

Velocity is a vector quantity, so that is why it has the measurement and the direction.

The average velocity is 0.08 kilometers per minute North.
