20 mins = 2/15 miles

----------------------------------
Find 1 min :
----------------------------------
1 min = 2/15 ÷ 20

1 min = 2/15 x 1/20

1 min = 1/150 miles

----------------------------------
Find 60 min :
----------------------------------
60 mins = 1/150 x 60

60 mins = 2/5 miles

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2/5 miles can be paved in 1 hour.
