Answer 2

Average speed of the whole trip is equals to 37.5 mph.

What is average speed?

" Average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance travelled to the total time taken."

Formula used

Average speed = $\frac{Total distance travelled }{Total time taken}$

According to the question,

Total distance travelled = 300miles

Speed for first 150 miles = 30 miles per hour

For,  30  miles = 1hour

    ⇒150 miles = 5 hours

Speed for remaining 150 miles = 50 miles per hour

For,  50  miles = 1hour

    ⇒150 miles = 3 hours

Substitute the value in the formula to get average speed,

Average speed = $\frac{300miles}{(5 + 3)hours}$

                          $=\frac{300}{8}\\ \\= 37.5 miles per hour$

Hence, average speed of the whole trip is equals to 37.5 mph.
