    It takes Amy 40 minutes and Bill 60 minutes.   


    In 10 minutes, Amy has traveled 3.55 m; Bill has traveled 2.37 m.  Amy has gone 1.18 m further


    Amy travels 7.2 m in 20 minutes. Bill travels 4.733333 m in 20 minutes Amy has gone 2.4667 m further.


    In 30 minutes, Amy has gone 10.65 compared to Bill's 7.2 (3.45 m difference)


    Amy has reached her destination in 40 minutes; Bill has gone 9.4667 m (4.73 m. difference)


    After 50 minutes, Bill's gone 11.833 m, and after 60 minutes, has completed the 14.2 m trip.


    Amy's average speed is:  21.3 mph; Bill's is 14.2 mph.  Amy travels 1.333x faster than Bill.

    1200 seconds faster
