Answer:

3.83 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t


v=\frac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.
