90 minutes · 1 hour is 60 minutes, plus 30 gives 90 minutes.
3000 · 1 km is 1000 m, so 3 km is 3 x 1000 = 3000 m.
35 · 1 week is 7 days, so 5 weeks is 5 x 7 = 35 days.
120 · 1 hour is 60 minutes, so 2 hours is 2 x 60 = 120 minutes.
3000 · 3 km = 3 x 1000 = 3000 metres.
3 · 60 seconds make a minute, and 180 / 60 = 3 minutes.
17 days · 2 weeks is 14 days, plus 3 gives 17 days.
35 · 5 weeks = 5 x 7 = 35 days.
135 · 2 hours = 120 minutes, plus the extra 15 minutes makes 135 minutes.
She multiplied by 100 instead of 1000 · 1 km = 1000 m, so 4 km = 4 x 1000 = 4000 m, not 400 m.
