Answer:

20 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we know Mph (Miles per hour) is distance over time :
(distance)/(time) \\

R (rate) = 60

d (distance) = 20

t (time) = Unknown

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R =
(d)/(t)

60 =
(20)/(t)

t =
(20)/(60)

t =
(1)/(3) or 0.3333

So basically it would take one third of an hour. Lets change these units to minutes.

60 * 0.333333 = 20

So it would take you 20 minutes to drive 20 miles on a bus that drives 60 mph

Hope that helps
