Greg runs 120 m in 20 seconds. How far can he run in one minute?
We want to compare seconds to seconds.
1 minute = 60 seconds
Set up a proportion of meters to seconds where m is the meters ran in 60 seconds:
120/20 = m/60
To solve this proportion for m, we type it in our search engine and we get:
m. = 360 meters
