Question

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
