Answer 1

I think the answer is 100 sorry if I get it wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

His new time compared to the old time was twice as much.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The distance covered in first trip is 50 miles.

The distance covered in later trip is 300 miles.

The relation between speed, time and distance is:$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Let speed of the first trip is x.

Thus, the speed of the later trip is 3x.

Now use the above formula by substituting distance 50 and speed as x.

$T_1= \frac{50}{x}$

Similarly, time taken in second trip is:

$T_2= \frac{300}{3x}$

Now, Compare new time with old.

$\frac{50}{x}= \frac{300}{3x}$

$\frac{50}{x}= \frac{100}{x}$

$\frac{50}{x}= 2\times\frac{50}{x}$

Therefore, his new time compared to the old time was twice as much.
