Answer:

3 1/3 pi inches

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know that when 20 minutes have passed, the minute hand will have moved 4 intervals (i.e. from 12 to 4), and each interval is 30 degrees by measurement. So 4 intervals have a degree measurement of 120 degrees, which is 1/3 of the whole circle (clock). since there isn't any notation on whether pi is taken as 3.14 or 22/7 or whatsoever, you can just say that it has moved (5x2)pi x 1/3 = 3 1/3 pi inches
