Speed of a cyclist ( distance, time, speed...)

A student rides her bike from her home to the store and back again. Her average speed to the store is 6.0 m/s, and coming back home it is 4.0 m/s. If the store is 840 m away from her home, what is the average speed of the student cyclist overall in riding to the store and back?


The cyclist's average speed (the answer) is 4.8 m/s, but I don't know how to get to that answer.
