    6 6/7 km/h

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The relations between speed, time, and distance are ...

    time = distance/speed

    speed = distance/time

    __

    So, to find the average speed, we need to know the total distance and the total time. The distances are given, but we need to compute the times.

    time jogging = (2 km) / (8 km/h) = 1/4 h

    time walking = (2 km) / (6 km/h) = 1/3 h

    Then the woman's average speed is ...

    average speed = (total distance) / (total time) = (2 km + 2 km) / (1/4 h + 1/3 h)

    = (4 km) / (7/12 h) = 48/7 km/h

    = 6 6/7 km/h
