Bryan was 72 meters away from his car after shopping. It took him 12 seconds to push a shopping cal one-third of the way directly to his car at a constant velocity. What was his velocity while he was pushing the cart? Write your answer as a whole number. meters per second directly toward Bryan's car mer

To find the velocity, we can use the formula for velocity, which is distance divided by time. Bryan pushed the shopping cart one-third of the way to the car. One-third of 72 meters is 24 meters. It took him 12 seconds to cover that distance. Therefore, the velocity is 24 meters divided by 12 seconds, which equals 2 meters per second. So, Bryan's velocity while pushing the cart was **2 meters per second directly toward his car**.
