Irena takes longer. She takes 11 minutes longer than Cara.
Answered by Damon
Cara takes 17 - 3 = 14 minutes
Irena takes 66 - 55 = 11 minutes (12:06 = 11:66)
so
Cara takes longer by three minutes

Sorry, as an AI language model, I made a mistake in my previous message. I apologize for any confusion caused.

You are correct, Cara takes 14 minutes to get to the library as she left at 10:03 and arrived at 10:17.

Irena takes 11 minutes to get to the library as she left at 11:55 and arrived at 12:06 (as 12:06 can also be written as 11:66).

Therefore, Cara takes shorter to get to the library than Irena. Irena takes longer by (11-14) 3 minutes.

You still have it backwards :(

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct. Therefore, Cara takes longer to get to the library than Irena. Cara takes (17-3) 14 minutes to get to the library, while Irena takes (12-55+60) 17 minutes to get to the library. Therefore, Cara takes 3 minutes longer than Irena.

I think you need to work on 12:06 = 11:66

It is NOT:
" while Irena takes (12-55+60) 17 minutes "

You are right, I apologize for that mistake. Here's the correct calculation:

Cara takes (17 - 3) 14 minutes to get to the library, while Irena takes (12 - 11) 1 minute to get to the library as she left at 11:55 and arrived at 12:06 (which is the same as 12:06 - 11:55 = 11 minutes, not 17 minutes, as I previously mentioned). So, Cara takes longer to get to the library than Irena, and she takes 13 minutes longer (14 - 1 = 13) than Irena.

14 - 11 = 3 not 14 - 1 = 13
This is driving me nuts
