#81# miles

Explanation:

If a giraffe runs #27# miles in one hour, and you want to see how far it can run in #3# hours, multiply #27# by #3#.

#(27color(white)(i)"miles")/"hour"xx3color(white)(i)"hours"#

The unit, "hour(s)," cancels out.

#=(27color(white)(i)"miles")/color(red)cancelcolor(black)("hour")xx3color(white)(i)color(red)cancelcolor(black)("hours")#

#=27color(white)(i)"miles"xx3#

#=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)81color(white)(i)"miles"color(white)(a/a)|)))#
