    Average speed = Total distance/Total time.

    First drive:

    120/60=2 (distance/rate=time)

    Second drive:

    120/40=3 (distance/rate=time)

    Average:

    Total time=120+120=240

    Total time=3+2=5

    Average speed = Total distance/Total time=240/5=48

    His average speed was 48 mph.
