You can put this solution on YOUR website! Becky walks to the stadium which is 580m way from her house for 20min . She walks back to her house using the same route at a speed of 20m per minute.
What is her average speed.
------------
Avg speed going is 580/20 = 29 m/min
------
Avg speed for round trip = 2*29*20/(29+20) =~ 23.67 m/minute
============================
I don't recommend memorizing formulas generally, but the avg speed for a round trip is 2*v1*v2/(v1+v2).
This is the same as for parallel flows, parallel resistors, parallel work, etc. except for the factor of 2.

Total Distance: 2(580) = 1,160 m
Time spent going: 20 minutes
Time spent returning:
Total Time spent on trip: 20 + 29 = 49 minutes
