I think it'll be 60 km/hr.

I think I'm wrong though. Please tell me if I'm wrong, thanks.

Answer:

3.0 h; 60 km/h

Explanation:

Part 1:

The formula for speed (s) as a function of distance (d) and time (t) is

s = d/t Multiply by t

st = d Divide by s

t = d/s

d = 150 km

s = 50 km/h Calculate the time

t = 250/50

t = 3.0 h

===============

Part 2:

t = 2.5 h Calculate the speed

s = 150/2.5

s = 60 km/h
