Dear student 
First thing that is most important is that when it move with constant velocity it means that it have an appropriate magnitude as well as a constant direction so in this case distance is equal to displacement of the body.
in this case average velocity that is displacement Upon Time taken instantaneous velocity that is derivative of displacement and speed that is distance upon time taken all three are equal
