    Remaining Distance = 180miles-90miles = 90miles

    Time taken for first part of her journey = 90miles / 30miles/h = 3hours

    To have average speed of 40mph,

    Let the time taken for second part be xh

    180 / 3h+xh = 40

    3+x = 4.5h

    x = 1.5h

    Constant speed she must drive = 90miles / 1.5h = 60mph
