Ok, so

We know that the car is travelling at a speed of 39miles/hour. The car's speed in miles per minute will be:


39(miles)/(hour)\cdot(1hour)/(60minutes)=0.65(miles)/(\min ute)

Now, we're asked to find how many miles the car will travel in 20 minutes. This is:


0.65(miles)/(\min ute)\cdot20\min utes=13miles
