Based on the number of degrees that 60 minutes is, we can infer that 20 minutes will be** 120°. **
A** total revolution** around a clock is** 360° **and this **translates **to **60 minutes. **
This means that **every minute **is:
*= Number of degrees in total / Number of minutes in revolution *
= 360 / 60
**= 6° per minute **
If there are** 20 minute**s, the number of **degrees **is:
= 6 x 20
= 120°
In conclusion, 20 minutes on the clock is 120°.

The angle traced by the minute hand in 20 minutes is 120 degrees. This is calculated by determining that the minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute, and multiplying this by 20 minutes. Therefore, in total, the minute hand covers 120 degrees in 20 minutes.
