Explanation:
The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.
For low fan speed,
Distance, d = 500 cm
Time, t = 7.4 s
Average velocity,

Acceleration,

For medium fan speed,
Distance, d = 500 cm
Time, t = 6.4 s
Average velocity,

Acceleration,

For high fan speed,
Distance, d = 500 cm
Time, t = 5.6 s
Average velocity,

Acceleration,

Hence, this is the required solution.
The first thing you should know is that the distance is equal to the speed per time.
Therefore if You walk forward at 1.5 m / s for 8s
d = 1.5t [0,8] s
Your friend decides to walk faster and starts at 2.0 m / s for the first 4 s.
d = 2t [0,4] s
Then she slows down and walks forward at 1.0 m / s for the next 4s
d = t + 4 [4,8] s
Who walked farther?
They both walked the same distance
12 meters
