You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = rt

120 = 65t

120/65 = t

1.84615 = t

t = 1.84615

So it will take roughly 1.84615 hours assuming you can go 65 mph the entire way (without having to worry about traffic, construction, etc)

0.84615*60 = 50.769

Since 1.84615 hours = 1 hour 50.769 minutes roughly, it will take 1 hour 50.769 minutes roughly to travel 120 miles.
