    Outbound Trip 120 miles 60 mph equals 2 hours

    Return Trip 120 miles

    Total Trip 240 miles at 45 mph average speed

    Total time = distance / rate = 240 / 45 = 5.3333333333 Hours

    The return trip of 120 miles takes (5.3333333333 Hours MINUS 2 hours)

    Return Trip Speed = 120 / 3.333333333 = 36 miles per hour
