    For this case, the first thing we must take into account is the following definition:

    d = v * t

    Where,

    d: distance

    v: speed

    t: time

    Substituting values we have:

    Trip 1:

    50 = v * t1

    We cleared t1:

    t2 = (50) * (1 / v)

    Trip 2:

    300 = (3 * v) * t2

    We cleared t2:

    t2 = (300/3) * (1 / v)

    t2 = (100) * (1 / v)

    Rewriting:

    t2 = 2 (50) * (1 / v)

    t2 = 2 * t1

    Answer:

    His new time compared with the old time was:

    Twice the old time.

    t2 = 2 * t1.
