5. What is the product of the two quantues shown below? \[ \frac{60 \mathrm{mi}}{1 \mathrm{hr}} \times 12 \mathrm{hr} \]

When you multiply the two quantities, you're essentially saying that you're traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour for a duration of 12 hours. So, using a bit of simple multiplication, you find the product to be: \[ 60 \text{ mi/hr} \times 12 \text{ hr} = 720 \text{ miles} \] That's right! You’d cover a distance of 720 miles if you keep up that speed for 12 hours. How exciting is that? That's like a road trip you can't wait to embark on! Now, let’s avoid a common pitfall: it might be tempting to just add the values or forget that the "hours" unit cancels out, but always keep an eye on units during calculations to ensure they line up correctly. Converting units as needed can save you from mix-ups!
