Answer :

Answer:

13 km/h

Explanation:

Average speed = distance/time

Let the total distance and total time taken for the whole trip be d km and t hours respectively

Average speed for the whole trip = 82 km/h

d = 82t

The distance covered in the first half = d1/2

Time taken = t/2

Average speed = 69 km/h

69 = d1/2 ÷ t/2

d1 = 69t

The distance covered in the second half = d2/2

Time taken = t/2

Let the average sly for the see half be A

A = d2/2 ÷ t/2

d2 = At

d = d1 + d2

82t = 69t + At

At = 82t - 69t

At = 13t

A = 13t/t = 13 km/h
