The candidates for mayor had 2 debates. The first debates lasted 2/3 hour. The second debate was 3 times as long as the first one. How many hours long was the second debate?

2 hours because 3/1*2/3 you just multiply top to top and bottom to bottom and get 6/3 which is 2

2 hours because 40 mins x 3 = 120 mins and 120 min equals 2 hours
