Answer:

32 km/ hr

Explanation:

Given that :

Speed of car = 24km/ hr

Time taken =. 80 minutes = 80 / 60 = 1.33333 hours

The distance traveled :

Speed * time

24 km/hr * 1.333333 = 32 km

Speed required to complete 32 km. Journey in 60 minutes = 1 hour

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 32 km / 1 hour

Speed = 32 km/ hr
