A car travels from city $A$ to city $B$ with a speed of $19 \text{ miles/h}$ and back from city $B$ to city $A$ with a speed of $3 \text{ miles/h}.$ What is the average speed of the car (in miles/h) during this round trip?

\displaystyle{ \frac{57}{15} \text{ miles/h}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{57}{13} \text{ miles/h}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{57}{11} \text{ miles/h}}

\displaystyle{ 11 \text{ miles/h}}

The diagram below shows a detour (first $8\text{ m}$ north, then $18\text{ m}$ southeast) from a starting point to an end point. The diagram also shows the shortest distance $12 \text{ m}$ between the starting and end points.

If a person takes the detour and reaches the end point in $23$ seconds, what is the average velocity of the person?

\displaystyle{ \frac{18}{23} \text{ m/s}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{12}{23} \text{ m/s}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{30}{23} \text{ m/s}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{15}{23} \text{ m/s}}
