\r\n" );
document.write( "It is the same as to ask how many seconds it takes for the train to move 180 meters forward.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "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\r\n" );
document.write( "to move 180 meters = 0.18 kilometers forward.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To find the time in seconds, multiply 0.180 of a minute by 60 seconds.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Doing this way, you will get the ANSWER: the necessary time is 0.18*60 = 10.8 seconds.\r\n" );
