Answer: 120 km/h

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate Hunk's time spent on his travel.

Speed rate = distance /time

Time = distance /speed = 540/ 90 =6 hours

Now, since Tim completed the same amount of distance with 1 hour and 30 min less (1.5) we have to subtract 1.5 hours to Hunk's time to calculate Tim’s time:

6-1.5 = 4.5 hours

Tim's speed rate = distance /time

s = 540/4.5 = 120 km/h

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
