Answer:

120 miles:4 hours

Explanation:

Johns made

two 120 mile trips

there are a total of 2 120 mile trips

his second trip in one hour less time than his first trip. The total time for the two trips was 9 hours

9 hours = 4 hours + 5 hours (5 hours - 4 hours = 1)

What was his average rate, in miles per hour, for the second trip?

120 miles:4 hours simplify to 30 miles:1 hour
