Gary took a drive down to the beach and drove at a pace of 45 mph on the way there. The trip took him 3 hours. He drives the exact same route on the way back, but takes it slow so he can enjoy the sunset. If Gary's return trip took him 4 hours, how fast was he driving on his return?

45 * 3 = 135 miles

135 / 4 = 33.75 mph

To find out how fast Gary was driving on his return trip, we can use the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time

We know that Gary drove at a pace of 45 mph on his way to the beach, and the trip took him 3 hours. Therefore, the distance he traveled on his way to the beach is:

Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 45 mph * 3 hours = 135 miles

On his return trip, the distance traveled is the same as on the way to the beach, which is 135 miles. Gary took 4 hours to complete the return trip.

To find his speed on the return trip, we can rearrange the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 135 miles / 4 hours

Calculating this gives us:

Speed = 33.75 mph

Therefore, Gary was driving at a speed of approximately 33.75 mph on his return trip.

To find out how fast Gary was driving on his return trip, we can use the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time

We know that Gary drove at a pace of 45 mph on the way to the beach and the trip took him 3 hours. So, we can calculate the distance using the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 45 mph x 3 hours = 135 miles

Since Gary drove the same route on the way back, the distance is still 135 miles. Now, we can calculate his speed on the return trip using the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 135 miles / 4 hours = 33.75 mph

Therefore, Gary was driving at a speed of approximately 33.75 mph on his return.
