Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

First of all, Joe goes 20 mi per 2 hours. If you divide the 20 by 2, it takes Joe 1 hr to drive 10 mi. So, If you add 2hr by 2 hr, then you get 4 o mi. Then, add 1 more hour, then you get 20+20+10=50. It takes him 5 hours to go 50 mi.

2h/20mi=0.1h/mi
0.1h/mi*50mi=5h
