Cara leaves her house at 10:03 and arrives at the library at 10:17.

Irena leaves her house at 11:55 and arrives at the library at 12:06.

Who takes longer to get to the library? How many minutes longer?

Irena takes longer. She takes 11 minutes longer than Cara.

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 :(

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

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

To determine who takes longer to get to the library, we can calculate the time taken by each person for their journey and compare the results.

First, let's calculate the time taken by Cara:
Cara leaves her house at 10:03 and arrives at the library at 10:17. To find the time taken, we subtract the departure time from the arrival time:
10:17 - 10:03 = 14 minutes.

Now, let's calculate the time taken by Irena:
Irena leaves her house at 11:55 and arrives at the library at 12:06. Again, we subtract the departure time from the arrival time:
12:06 - 11:55 = 11 minutes.

Comparing these results, we can see that Cara takes longer to get to the library, by 14 - 11 = 3 minutes.

So the answer is Cara takes longer to get to the library, and she takes 3 minutes longer than Irena.
