Step-by-step explanation:

We assume "outbound" refers to the trip to the lake. The ratio of speeds is inversely proportional to the ratio of times, so ...

outbound speed : inbound speed = 4 : 3

These differ by one ratio unit, so that one ratio unit corresponds to the speed difference of 10 mph. Then the 4 ratio units of outbound speed will correspond to ...

4×10 mph = 40 mph

Paul's average speed on the outbound trip was 40 mph.

___

The distance to the lake was 120 mi.
