Answer:
\(3 \, \text{m/s}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average velocity of Shelby's little sister, we can use the formula for average velocity:


\[\text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}\]

In this case, the displacement is
\(15 \, \text{m}\) (the distance from where Shelby started to where the race ends), and the time taken is
\(5,
\text{s}\).

So, the average velocity would be:


\[\text{Average Velocity} = \frac{15 \, \text{m}}{5 \, \text{s}} = 3 \, \text{m/s}\]

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the average velocity of Shelby's little sister is
\(3 \, \text{m/s}\).
