Answer: Matt

==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cupcakes : 20 min

5/5 cupcakes : 20/5 min

1 cupcake : 4 min

Carolyn eats 1 cupcake every 4 minutes

----------

6 cupcakes : 22 min

6/6 cupcakes : 22/6 min

1 cupcake : 3.67 min

Matt eats 1 cupcake every 3.67 minutes (roughly).

Matt is the faster eater since his time value per cupcake is smaller.
