Velocity and displacement are vector quantities. Displacement is the distance between the start and end points, regardless of the actual path taken, whereas distance is the length of the path. This means that displacement is never greater than distance, and can be less. Average velocity is displacement (not distance) divided by time. See the ref.

Average Velocity=(Total Distance)/(total time)
Displacement is just the same thing as distance only difference is that displacement is in a straight line
