The answer is: " 48
(km)/(h)
" .
______________________________________________
Note: 30 minutes is "1/2 h" = 0.5 h ;

As such:

"2 hours and 30 minutes: = 2 h + 0.5 h = 2.5 h " ;
______________________________________________
So we have:
____________________
120 km / 2.5 h ;

= (120 / 2.5) km / h = (1200/25) km/hr = 48
(km)/(h)
.
