Alyssa invested $180 in an account paying an interest rate of 8 and 3/8 % compounded annually. Lily invested $180 in an account paying an interest rate of 8 and 1/8 % compounded continuously. To the nearest hundredth of a year, how much longer would it take for Alyssa's money to triple than for Lily's money to triple?
