Answer:

0.25miles/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

It can be mathematically expressed as;

Instantaneous speed =
(distance)/(time)

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

Instantaneous speed =
(5 miles )/(20mins) = 0.25miles/min
