Final answer:

The average velocity of the travel where 7 meters were covered west and then 56 meters east in 7 seconds is 7 meters per second to the east.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your average velocity is calculated by taking the total displacement divided by the total time taken. In this case, first, you travel 7 meters west (which we can consider as negative distance), then 56 meters east (positive distance). The total displacement is 56 - 7 = 49 meters to the east. Since the total time is 7 seconds, the average velocity is the displacement (49 meters) divided by the time (7 seconds), which equals 7 meters per second to the east.
