if speed is constant , it does not matter what distance you travel in first 20 min or last 20 min , it will be same

so hr /60 * 20 = hr/3

+1 for E.

Distance (D) = Speed (S) * Time (T)
S * T = r*20/60 mins = r / 3

Hence, E.

20 minutes is one third of one hour.

If Stan travels r miles every hour, then he will travel one third of r miles in one third of an hour, or r/3 in 20 minutes.

We use the formula: distance = rate x time. Since 20 minutes = ⅓ hours, Stan went r x 1/3 = r/3 miles.

Answer: E
