    V1=50km/h

    v2=90km/h

    s1=s2=6km

    s=12km

    The average speed over the 12 km drive:

    v=s/t

    The time needed to drive 12km will be:

    t = t1+t2

    t1=s1/v1, t2=s2/v2

    t=s1/v1+s2/v2 = (s1v2+s2v1) / (v1v2)

    v=sv1v2 / (s1v2+s2v1) = 12*50*90 / (6*50+6*90) = 64,28 km/h
