If Tate collected 20 times as many rare coins as Pearl, we can set up a proportion to find out how many coins Pearl collected. Let x be the number of rare coins Pearl collected. Then we have:

x / 120 = 1 / 20

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

20x = 120

Dividing both sides by 20, we get:

x = 6

Therefore, Pearl collected 6 rare coins.
