    It would take an hour to download a 2 hour movie.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the amount of time it takes to download a 2 hour movie, you can use proportions.

    14/42 (since it takes 14 minutes to download a 42 minute TV)

    Next, you want to find out how much a 2 hour movie takes. In order to do that, you first have to convert 2 hours into minutes.

    60 x 2 = 180 (since there is 60 minutes in an hour)

    then you place the proportion accordingly

    14/42=x/180

    The 42 and 180 represent the duration. The 14 was the amount of time it took for the show to download. x represents what we are trying to find.

    Next, you cross multiply.

    180 x 14 = 2,520

    42 (x) = 42x

    To find the answer, simply do 2,520/42 to get 60.

    This also equals an hour so therefore, it takes 1 hour to download a 2 hour movie.
