the new time is twice the old time.

Step-by-step explanation:

on the first trip suppose the speed is 1 and the distance is 50 miles

time = distance / speed = 50/1=50 minutes

on the second trip the speed is 3 times the first time and distance is 300 miles

time = distance / speed = 300/3 = 100 minutes
