well in her first travel (when she goes to the anther city)
v1= 50mph
d1=100 m
t1=?

t=d/v=100/50=2h

that's meat that she will take 2hours during the first travel

and total travel time = 3h

she wants to take only 1 h in her second travel

v2=?
d2=100 m
t2= 1h

v2= d2 *t2 =100mph

total travel time is 3 hours and 40 minutes so i belive the correct answer is 60mph
