Paul drives from his apartment to his parents’ house and back. On the trip to his parents’ house, he travels at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. On the return trip, Paul drives at an average speed of 80 miles per hour. Which of the following is the closest approximation of Paul’s average speed, in miles per hour, for the round trip?

A. 60.0
B. 68.6
C. 70.0
D. 71.4
E. 80.0

We can let the one-way distance be 240 miles. Therefore, the average speed of the round trip is:

(240 + 240)/(240/60 + 240/80)

480/(4 + 3)

480/7 ≈ 68.6 mph

Answer: B

D. 71.4
E. 80.0
for the same distance the ratio of velocity Is inverse to ratio of time
ratio of speed = 4 : 3
ratio of time = 3:4

distance keeping y as constant in ratio of time = 80 mph * 3 y = 240y

total distance = 480 y
total time = 7y

average speed = 480/7 =68.571
