To find the average speed V, we need to find the total distance:D she drived and total time: T she spent.

From the question, we know that D=30+30=60 miles
T=30/30+30/60=1.5 hours

So V=D/T=60/1.5=40 miles/hours

Answer is (B)

Average speed= total distance/total time.
Total Distance that Susan covers is 60 miles.
Since she travels 30 mph for the first 30 miles, it takes 1 hour.
Since she travels 60 mph for the remaining 30 miles, it takes her half an hour.

(60)/(1+1/2)=(60)/(3/2)=40 mph
