ANSWER

72km/h

Step-by-step explanation

The average speed of the car can be calculated using the formula:

Average Speed=total distance/ total time taken.

The car covers a distance of 108km in 1½ hours.

We substitute the values into the formula to obtain,


Average \: \: Speed= (108)/(1.5)


Average \: \: Speed=72 {kmh}^( - 1)

Therefore the average speed of the journey is 72km/h
