What was similar/the same between the two cars in the following situation?

If one car travels 40. meters due east in 5.0 seconds, and a second car travels 64 meters due east in 8.0 seconds. Then, during their periods of travel, both cars definitely had the same B or average velocity. Letter C or average speed is incorrect because in the question, we talk about direction. If there are no directions involved, then we can choose letter C as the correct answer. However, for this specific question, the correct answer is letter B.

To get the speed, we need to follow the formula of distance/time. This means that the first car travels 8 meters per second (40/5=8) and the second car also travels 8 meters per second (64/8=8). Since they are both traveling east, then they have the same velocity of 8 meters per second going to east.
