Average velocity is determined by the displacement (change in position) divided by the time it takes to make that change. In this case, the displacement is 20 miles (assuming you end up at school) and the time is 30 minutes (or 0.5 hours).

Average velocity = displacement / time = 20 miles / 0.5 hours = 40 mph
