Velocity can be calculated by dividing distance over time. In this case, a kangaroo hops 60m to the east in 5 seconds. Divide the distanced traveled by the kangaroo over time. Using the formula v = d/t, where d is distance and t is time, substitute the values 60meters and 5 seconds.
> v = d/t
> v = 60meters/5 seconds
> v = 12meters/seconds
 The Kangaroo's average velocity is 12meters/seconds.
