    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
