Q: You walk twice as fast as Mr. Harris, and Mr. Harris took 2 hours to walk to the store. If your destination is 3 times further away than the store Mr. Harris walked to, how many hours will it take you to get there?

A: First we find out how long it would take Mr. Harris to walk to your destination, which we find by multiplying his 2 hour walk by 3 since your destination is 3 times further away, meaning it would take him 2*3= <<2*3=6>>6 hours.
Since you walk twice as fast, it would take you half the time. Half of 6, 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 hours in total. The answer is  3.
