Ben's average speed will be equal to 70.5 meters per minute.

What is an average speed?

Calculating average speed involves dividing the whole distance travelled by the total time it took to cover that distance. Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance travelled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

It is given that Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. He then walks back toward his house but continues 200 meters past his house to talk to a neighbour. It takes Ben 17 minutes from the time he leaves his house until he stops to talk to his neighbour.

The average speed is calculated as below:-

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Average speed = ( 500 + 500 + 200 ) / 17

Average speed = ( 1200 ) / 17

Average speed = 70.5 meters per minute.

Therefore, Ben's average speed will be equal to 70.5 meters per minute.
