If he takes 45 minutes to complete the entire journey, find his total distance traveled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         Since the solution by @josgarithmetic is incorrect, I came to bring the correct one, which is placed below.

d, distance between A and B Travel from A to B at 4 km/h ------> time = hours. Travel from B to A at 6 km/h ------> time = hours. + = of an hour <<<---=== the "time" equation Multiply by 12 both sides. 3d + 2d = 9 ====> 5d = 9 ====> d = kilometers. ANSWER

--------------
Avg speed for the round trip is 2*4*6/(4+6) = 4.8 km/hr
d = r*t = 4.8 km/hr * (45/60) hours
d = 3.6 km
