A truck travels 
feet every 
seconds. There are 
feet in a yard. How many yards does the truck travel in minutes?

Converting feet to yards and minutes to second, we see that the truck travels 
yards every seconds for 
seconds. We see that he does 
cycles of yards. Multiplying, we get 
, or 
, or 
.
Solution 2
We set a proportion by letting the 
being the number of feet the truck travels in minutes.
Remember is the number of feet the truck travels, so we divide by to convert to yards.
, which corresponds to
