time of truck: 15:24-12:00 = 204 minutes
time of flight: 3:24-1:48 = 96 minutes
So, if the truck's speed was x km/hr, we have
(x km/hr)(204 min) = (170 km/hr)(96 min)
x = 170*96/204 = 80
You could convert everything to m/s, or use fractional hours or something, but if you keep track of the units, things will work out ok.
