    Answer:he would arrive 0.2 miles faster.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distance = speed * time

    Time = distance/speed

    William cycles at a sped of 15 miles per hour. He cycles 12 miles from home to school. This means that the time it takes William to get to school from home would be

    12/15 = 0.8 hours

    If he increases his cycling speed by 5 miles per hour, his new speed becomes

    15 + 5 = 20 miles per hour

    Therefore, the new time it takes William to get to school from home would be

    12/20 = 0.6 hours

    The difference in both times is

    0.8 - 0.6 = 0.2 hours

    Therefore, he would arrive 0.2 miles faster.
