Answer:

32

Explanation:

The average speed of the car for the remaining is  32 miles/h.

What is average speed?

The average speed of any moving object is the ratio of the total distance covered and the total time taken to cover that distance.

Average Speed S= distance /time

Given is a sailboat took 2.5 hours to cover 1/4 of a journey. Then, it covered the remaining 144 miles in 3.5 hours.

If x be the total distance covered during journey, then

3/4 x = 144

x = 192 miles

The total time taken for journey is 2.5 +3.5 = 6 h

The average speed for the whole journey is

Avg speed S= 192 / 6

S = 32 miles/h

Thus, the average speed of the car for the remaining is  32 miles/h.
