Based on the number of degrees that 60 minutes is, we can infer that 20 minutes will be 120°.

A total revolution around a clock is 360° and this translates to 60 minutes.

This means that every minute is:

= Number of degrees in total / Number of minutes in revolution

= 360 / 60

= 6° per minute

If there are 20 minutes, the number of degrees is:

= 6 x 20

= 120°

In conclusion, 20 minutes on the clock is 120°.
