    total time = 250/x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Jose drove 300 miles on his vacation. He drove an average of 1.5 times faster on the second half of the trip. The time he spent driving can be calculated as follows.

    The first half of the trip

    distance = 150 miles

    time = ?

    speed = x

    speed = distance/time

    time = distance/speed

    time = 150/x

    The second half of the trip

    distance = 150 miles

    time = ?

    speed = 1.5x

    time = distance/speed

    time = 150/1.5x

    Total time travelled = 150/x + 150/1.5x

    total time = 150/x + 100/x = 150 + 100 / x = 250/x

    total time = 250/x
