Well, if you guys walked for an hour, obviously, your friend would go six miles and you would go four. The difference is two miles. But that's for an hour. For twenty minutes, simply divide the two miles by 3 (20 minutes is one third of an hour), so your friend would be 2/3 miles (3520 feet) ahead of you.
