    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
