On a local freeway the average car takes 30 minutes to travel 20 miles. How many miles is it travel in one minute?

To find out how many miles the car travels in one minute, we first calculate its speed in miles per minute:

1. **Calculate the speed:**  
   The car travels 20 miles in 30 minutes, so the speed is:
   \[
   \text{Speed} = \frac{20 \text{ miles}}{30 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ miles per minute}
   \]

Therefore, the car travels \(\frac{2}{3}\) miles in one minute.
