20(360÷60)=20*6

In 60 60 minutes, the minute hand browses 36 0 360^\circ . Since the angular velocity of the minute hand is constant, in 20 20 minutes, the minute hand browses 120 \boxed{120}^\circ .

120, because 30 mins. is 180 and are six numbers in the middle of a clock, so, 180/6 = 30 and 180-30 is 150, and 150° is on 25 minutes. Also, 150-30 is 120. 120 is the answer because 150 is 25 minutes and 120 is 20 minutes.
