    Mike cut 2 acres of grass in 30 minutes on his tractor. Which proportion would determine how many acres of grass Mike cut in 60 minutes?

    Let a be the number of acres of grass cut by Mike in 60 minutes. We have the following proportion:
    2/30 = a/60

    Typing this problem into our search engine, we get a = 4.
