Answer:
(b)/(50)

Explanation:

Given: The total number of students donated books in Hannah's school = 150

The number of books donated by students = b

The average number of books each student donated=
\frac{\text{total books donated}}{\text{total students}}

Thus, The average number of books each student donated=
(b)/(150)

Since, Hannah donated 3 times as many as the average number of books each student donated.

Then , the number of books donated by Hannah=
3*(b)/(150)=(b)/(50)
