Default how does the math work on this?

If you have a combined student loan with two line items:

$38,452 @ 3.5%
$12,451 @ 8.5%

Assuming you never pre-pay, and all your payments are applied proportionally against each loan--like if you pay $50, 38 goes to the first loan and 12 goes to the second--

What is your true combined interest rate over the loan period?
