    Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

    Explanation:

    Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

    Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

    Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

    Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

    As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

    Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

    It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

    Average speed of Elain = Distance / time = 360 km / 6 hours

    Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h
