You can put this solution on YOUR website! A person is traveling to Chicago. She is going 40 mph on the way to Chicago and 80 mph on the way back. What is the average traveling time.
-------------------
d = distance one-way
d = rt
t = d/r
Total time = d/40 + d/80 = 3d/80
-------------
Avg r = 2d/t = 2d/(3d/80) = 160/3 mph
