Have You Seen This? The math behind MPH
SALT LAKE CITY -- Here's the question, if you are traveling at 80 MPH how long will it take you to travel 80 miles?
Travis tries unsuccessfully to convince his wife it would take an hour, repeatedly getting this argument from her, "but you are driving faster than a mile a minute."
Then out of nowhere we get this awesome exchange:
Chelsea: "You don't know. You can guestimate just like I guestimated."
Travis: "I'm not guestimating. I'm using math and science."
Well, maybe they don't have those subjects on Venus.

Taking all of that into consideration and doing some "calculations" she comes up with 58 minutes.
Close, but not quite. Travis tries unsuccessfully to convince his wife it would take an hour, repeatedly getting this argument from her, "but you are driving faster than a mile a minute."

Seems pretty obvious, right?
Well, a young couple (husband and wife) are traveling from Logan to Boise debating this exact question.
The fact that they were even discussing this is more evidence of how blah! that drive is.
Anyway, the husband, Travis is trying to convince his wife, Chelsea that the math is pretty simple. But she seems to think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out.
She gets into tire rotations: "(A tire) turns about 400 times per mile."
She talks about running the mile: "When I am really in shape it takes me about seven minutes (to run a mile), and I'm running like 10 miles per hour."
