Every instance gets 20GB partitioned to them. There is some overhead in some of the other partitions of disk space so / won't ever show the full 20GB, as small parts of the 20GBs are allocated elsewhere.

Since there was already some amount of storage there, the result after completing the instructions (and the correction to the error that we made when we originally sent you instructions on expanding the lvm volume..."sudo lvextend -L+10G /dev/ubuntu-vg/root") should get you as close as possible to 20GB (~18.75GB) on /root while allowing for the overhead.
