Notice that 2*3=6.

On the other hand, according to the question, 3 girls can decorate a total of

$\begin{gathered} (60)/(1.5)=40 \\ \Rightarrow40\cdot2=80 \end{gathered}$

80 holiday cards in one hour. Therefore, 6 girls can decorate 2*80=160 holiday cards in the same amount of time.

The answer is 160 holiday cards per hour
