    Average velocity = 30 miles per hour

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Velocity for uphill = 20 miles per hour

    Velocity for downhill = 60 miles per hour

    We know that

    Distance = Velocity x time

    Total distance = Average velocity x total time

    Lets take distance from home to school is s

    Time taken from home to school = s/20 hr

    Time taken from school to home = s/60 hr

    Total time = s/20+s/60

    Total distance = Average velocity x total time

    s + s = Average velocity x (s/20+s/60)

    So average velocity = 30 miles per hour
