Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's say that her departure trip takes t in minutes, as her return speed is 3 times her departure speed, she took t/3 for the return and we know that this 40 minutes less, so we can write.

t/3=t-40

We can multiply by 3

t = 3t -40*3 = 3t - 120

This is equivalent to

3t -120 = t

We subtract t

2t-120 = 0

2t = 120

We divide by 2

t = 120/2 = 60

So this is 60 minutes = 1 hour.

Thank you.
