A train 180m long travels through a station at 60km/h.
Find how many seconds it takes for the train to pass a person who is standing on the station platform.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is the same as to ask how many seconds it takes for the train to move 180 meters forward.
The speed of 60 km/h is the same as 1 km/minute, so it will take 0.180 of a minute for the train
to move 180 meters = 0.18 kilometers forward.
To find the time in seconds, multiply 0.180 of a minute by 60 seconds.
Doing this way, you will get the ANSWER: the necessary time is 0.18*60 = 10.8 seconds.
Solved.
