Since we want to calculate for the same rate, we can use the same ratio of won games to total games.

The given ratio is:


r=(20)/(60)=(1)/(3)

For the whole 120-game season, the total is 120 and let's call the number of won games by n, so:


\begin{gathered} r=(n)/(120) \\ r=(1)/(3) \\ (1)/(3)=(n)/(120) \\ (120)/(3)=n \\ 40=n \\ n=40 \end{gathered}

So, at this rate, they will win 40 games.
