we have 200, four-hundred pound men, traveling 180 miles per hour in a 1976 bus going around a race track which is 1.8 miles long, how long will it take this bus with these men to travel around the track 800 times???

speed = distance / time
---rearange this----
you get -----> time = distance / speed
time = (1.8 * 800) / 180
time = 1440 / 180
time = 8 hours
a looonnnng time for a bunch of fat men in a bus

It will take 8 hours for the bus to travel around the track 800 times.
1.8 miles times 800 divided by 180 mph = 8 hours

8 hours, since the number of and weight of the men are negligible (because they are already traveling at 180 mph) They'll circle 100 times an hour (180 divided by 1.8). 800 times, 8 hours.

Multiply 800 times 1.8
Divide that figure by the speed of the bus
The rest of the figures are not relevant.
