- The boy walks 500 meters to the park and 500 meters back, totaling 1000 meters or 1 kilometer.

- Total time for the trip is 5 + 7 = 12 minutes.

- Convert minutes to hours: 12 minutes is 12/60 = 0.2 hours.

- Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

- Calculate: 1 km / 0.2 hours = 5 km/h.

- Option 3: 2.5 km/h – Half of the correct speed.

- Option 4: 12 km/h – Much higher than the correct speed.
