    36 km/h

    Explanation:

    If d is the total distance, then the time spent driving at 20 km/h is:

    t₁ = (d/3) / 20

    t₁ = d / 60

    And the time spent driving at 60 km/h is:

    t₂ = (2d/3) / 60

    t₂ = d / 90

    So the total time is:

    t = t₁ + t₂

    t = d/60 + d/90

    t = d/36

    The average speed is the total distance divided by total time:

    s = d / t

    s = d / (d/36)

    s = 36

    The average speed is 36 km/h.
