Bethany walks at a rate of 3 steps every 2 seconds. This means that she walks at a rate of 3/2 steps per second.
To calculate how many seconds it will take Bethany to walk 60 steps, we can set up a proportion: (3/2 steps)/(1 second) = (60 steps)/(x seconds).
Simplifying the proportion, we have 3/2 = 60/x.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply: 3x = 2 * 60.
Simplifying, we have 3x = 120.
Dividing both sides by 3, we have x = 40.
Therefore, it will take Bethany 40 seconds to walk 60 steps. Answer: \boxed{40}.
