    Answer:

    1.56 m/s

    Explanation:

    For East direction, the 6 blocks is equivalent to 6*100=600 m

    For West direction, 8 blocks is equivalent to 8*100=800 m

    Speed is given by s=d/t where s is speed, d is distance covered and t is time taken

    Total distance is 600+800=1400m

    Time taken is 15 mins, converted to seconds will be 15*60=900 s

    Speed, s=1400/900=1.5555555555555 m/s rounded off as 1.56 m/s
