-----------------
Avg speed of a round trip is
2*r1*r2/(r1+r2)
= 2*3*2/(3+2) = 12/5
= 2.4 km/hr
-----
d = r*t = 2.4*5 = 12 km RT
One way = 6 km
===================
Avg speed of a round trip is
2*r1*r2/(r1+r2)
----
That can be derived easily by picking a distance, eg, 6 km.
It's not possible (or recommended) to remember all the formulas, but this one is similar to parallel resistors, parallel flows, and "parallel" work. It has an additional factor of 2 in the numerator.
2*r1*r2/(r1+r2)
----
Parallel resistors is
R1*R2/(R1+R2)
