The El Paso Middle School girls' basketball team is going from El Paso to San Antonio for the Texas state championship game. The trip will be 560 miles. Their bus travels at an average of 60 miles per hour. Estimate the distance the bus travels in 2 hours.
120
To estimate the distance the bus travels in 2 hours, we need to multiply the average speed of the bus (60 miles per hour) by the number of hours (2).
To do this, we can use the simple formula: Distance = Speed × Time.
In this case, the given speed is 60 miles per hour, and we want to calculate the distance traveled in 2 hours.
Distance = 60 miles/hour × 2 hours
Using basic multiplication, we find that the bus will travel 120 miles in 2 hours.
