Really basic:
60 m/h * 2 h = 120 m

If the train is traveling 60 miles an hour and it takes to 2 hours to get to its destination, then in 2 hours the train will travel 2 x 60 = 120 miles.

The answer is 120 miles.
If the train is doing 60mph, and it takes 2 hours, then 60 x 2 =120.

it is not that they have got not got straight forward math skills--they have _selective_ math skills. as an occasion, they examine finished wins in NASCAR sanctioned activities, and proclaim that for the period of accordance with that, KyBusch is 2d just to Richard Petty (and of their minds, will surpass him in a pair of years time). yet once you surely need to count variety wins in NASCAR sanctioned activities, the chief is Richie Evans, who has (i think of) 475. So he's the two 350 or so at the back of Evans (in case you count variety all NASCAR wins) or he's 170ish at the back of Petty in case you purely count variety Cup wins. yet they opt to count variety all wins for Busch, and alter up 0.5 way by way of to verify it to Cup purely wins. it is not intellectually honest. Lindsay, you will possibly no longer opt to bag on somebody's math skills once you incorrectly calculated (two times) their triumphing probabilities. the final suited formulation for p.c. is (wins/starts)*a hundred. once you do the math properly, JJ's triumphing share is 15.a million%. KyBusch is at 8.6%
