Answer:
The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
Have a great day :)
I mean it could be read that way but that's the way most people read fractions. 11 and 8/10. Most people I know read decimals like that as 11 point 8. So yes I suppose it's true; it's not wrong, but most people don't say it like that. And I don't know how they taught you to read it in your math course.
