Step-by-step explanation:

You  need to remember this formula:

Where "V" is speed, "d" is distance and "t" is time.

 If you need to find the distance, you can solve for "d":

If you need to find the time, solve for "t":

In this case, you know that:

- It takes him 3 hours to drive to his brothers house.

- His average speed when he drives to his brothers house is 50 miles per hour.

- He takes the same route to come back home, then the distance does not change.
