It said the missiles were fired from two submarines in the eastern Mediterranean from a distance of 500-670 kilometers (727 miles).

500 KM would be 310 statute miles, 270 nautical miles give or take. No way can I figure out how they get from 500 KM to 727 miles. Reuters seems to be mathematically challenged.

Well, if you ADD 500 and 670 km, you get 1170 km, which is, in fact, 727 miles.

Genius level math skills shown by the author.

We have 4 younger relatives in jobs where they have to use basic math everyday to ensure proper outcomes and safety. They also hire and fire employees, who work under them.

They feel that any liberal, who is from their 20’s to early 50’s are not only mathematically challenged, they are unable to do basic math.
