The second part of the trip would take 1.5 hours.

Speed is the ratio of the total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance/time

Since the total distance is 175 miles at an average speed of 50 mph. Hence the total time is:

Speed = distance/time

50 = 175/time

time = 175/50

Time = 3.5 hours

Since the first trip takes 2 hours, the time needed for the second trip is:

Total time = time for first trip + time for second trip

3.5 hours = 2 hours + Time for second trip

Time for second trip = 1.5 hours

The second part of the trip would take 1.5 hours.
