A car travels $120$ miles from $A$ to $B$ at $30$ miles per hour but returns the same distance at $40$ miles per hour. The average speed for the round trip is closest to:
$\textbf{(A)}\ 33\text{ mph}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 34\text{ mph}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 35\text{ mph}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 36\text{ mph}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 37\text{ mph}$
The car takes $120 \text{ miles }\cdot\dfrac{1 \text{ hr }}{30 \text{ miles }}=4 \text{ hr}$ to get from $A$ to $B$. Also, it takes $120 \text{ miles }\cdot\dfrac{1 \text{ hr }}{40 \text{ miles }}=3 \text{ hr}$ to get from $B$ to $A$. Therefore, the average speed is $\dfrac{240\text{ miles }}{7 \text{ hr}}=34\dfrac{2}{7}\text{ mph}$, which is closest to $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 34\text{ mph}}$.
