Transitional momentum?

Suppose that your mass is 80 kg. How fast would you have to run to have the same translational momentum as a 1600 kg car moving at 1.2 km/hr? Can you explain what would be the steps to solve this problem?

Momentum is mv. The car's momentum is 1600*1.2 kg-km/hr. Your momnetum is 80*Vu kg-km/hr where Vu is your velocity.
