in a car, you drive from your home 4 km to the gas station, 8 km to the shopping mall to let your mother off, and 8.9 km back home. The trip takes 20 min. What is your velocity?

So I got 17.4 m/s but my teacher told me that the velocity is actually 0 m/s, can someone explain to me why?

Because you started and ended at the same place. There was no displacement.
