The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula $V=lwh$, where $l$ is the length, $w$ is the width, and $h$ is the height. We are given that $V=1920$, $h=12$, and $l=20$. Plugging these values into the formula, we have $1920=20\cdot w\cdot 12$. Dividing both sides by $240$, we get $8=w\cdot 1\cdot 12$. Dividing both sides by $12$, we find that the width, $w$, is $\boxed{8}$ inches.
