Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than
20
minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.
2
15
of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?#
They will pave 3 times more.

You could also use the 'unitary method' where you find out how much they pave in ONE minute (divide by
20
) and them multiply by
60
to find how much in one hour.
