Question 712150: If Marna drives 60 miles per hour, how many miles will Marna drive in x hours?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If marna drives for 1 hour at 60 mph then she will travel 60 miles.
if she drives for 2 hours at 60 mph she would travel (60*2) 120 miles.
if she drives for 3 hours at 60 mph she would travel (60*3) 180 miles etc.
To find the distance travelled we multiply the speed by the time.
In your question Marna travels at 60 mph for x hours.
Multiplying these together gives Marna's distance as 60x miles.
