Answer:

70 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between town A and B = 210 km

Della's speed = 60 km/hr

Time taken by Della = distance / speed

Time taken by Della = 210 km / 60km/ hr

Time taken by Della = 3.5 hours

Since Nick left half an hour later Than Della ;

Then, Nick's travel time = 3.5 - 0.5 = 3 hours

Nick's average speed = Distance /time

Nick's average speed = 210 / 3 = 70km/hr
