You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car travels half of the distance with speed of 54km/h. what would be the speed for second half to get the average speed of 90km /h for whole journey.
-------------
d = 1/2 the distance
r = speed of 2nd half
---
d/54 + d/r = 2d/90 = d/45
1/54 + 1/r = 1/45
(r+54)/54r = 1/45
r+54 = 54r/45 = 6r/5
5r + 270 = 6r
r = 270 km/hr
===========
Check:
Avg speed = 2*54*270/(54+270) = 90
