The distance from home to work is 60*(2/3) = 40 miles.


Here the ratio    represents 40 minutes, that are    of an hour.


The way back takes 75 minutes, or 1 hour and 15 minutes, i.e.    hours.


Therefore, the average speed driving back from work to home  is   =  = 8*4 = 32 miles per hour.


ANSWER.  The average speed driving back from work to home is 32 miles per hour.

Solved, explained, calculated and completed.
