Answer: 20 hours

=========================================

One way to solve

1 car = 20 minutes

3*(1 car) = 3*(20 minutes) multiply both sides by 3

3 cars = 60 minutes

3 cars = 1 hour

20*(3 cars) = 20*(1 hour) ... multiply both sides by 20

60 cars = 20 hours

-------------------

Another way to solve

(1 car)/(20 minutes) = (60 cars)/(x minutes)

1/20 = 60/x

1*x = 20*60 ... cross multiply

x = 1200 minutes

x = (1200 min)*( (1 hr)/(60 min) )

x = (1200/60) hr

x = 20 hours
