Answer:

Question 19: The person who traveled the farthest lives 12 miles from the restaurant, which is the same distance as Kellan.

Question 20: Kellan would have left his house at 8:10 AM in order to arrive at Andrea's house at 8:30 AM and then walk to the restaurant with Andrea at a rate of 2.5 miles per hour, arriving at the restaurant at 8:50 AM, five minutes early. So the answer is 810.
