Answer:
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, times taken to covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And times taken to covered 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
