It's a 120 mile round trip, so that means he would have to complete the trip in two hours to average 60 miles per hour. However, it has already taken Fred two hours simply to get there. Therefore, there is no speed at which Fred could travel to average 60 miles per hour the whole trip. By the way, if anyone says the correct answer is 90 miles an hour, they are WRONG!
