Let us assume the speed as V from home to grocery. => Speed 2V from Grocery to Gym.
Let us assume the time from Home to Grocery as T. => Time T-40 from Grocery to Gym.

=> V= 360/t & 2V = 480/(t-40)

Solving we get T=120.

=> 2V = 6.

Angelina walked 360 meters from her home to the grocery at a constant speed. She then walked 480 meters to the gym at double the speed. She spent 40 seconds less on her way from the grocery to the gym than on her way from home to the grocery. What was Angelina's speed, in meters per second, from the grocery to the gym?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 6
E. 12

Letting r = Angelina’s normal speed, we can create the equation for the time:

360/r = 480/(2r) + 40

360/r = 240/r + 40

120/r = 40

120 = 40r

3 = r

Since her speed from the grocery to the gym was 2r, her speed was 6 m/sec..
