Irena takes longer to get to the library. She takes 49 minutes longer (11:55 to 12:06 is 11 minutes + 60 minutes because it is past 11:00, so it's 71 minutes total - 17 minutes for Cara's travel time = 54 minutes longer, but we need to subtract the 5-minute difference in their starting times, so 54-5 = 49 minutes longer).
