Answer 
Velocity is the rate of change of displacement i.e Displacement/time. Vector quantity
Speed is the rate of change of distance i.e Distance/time. Scalar quantity
Let me give a quick example to understand the concept. Say a person in walking in his community with 1m/s in the east direction, 1 m/s in the north direction, 1m/s in west direction and 1m/s in south direction. Since velocity is a vector quantity and there is a change in direction velocity varies but the speed is not varying being a scalar quantity.
Happy learning!!!
