1 mile = 1760 yards
20 * 1.151 = 23.02
23.02 * 1760 = 40,515.2
40,515.2 / 60 = 675.243~
675.243~ / 60 = 11.2542~
They are traveling 11.25 yards per second
I took the number of knots multiplied by the approximate miles per hour equal
Then multiplied that by the number of yards in a mile, and then divided that by the number of minutes in an hour, and divided that by the number of seconds in a minute. That is how I got the answer, I hope it helps!

Suppose that a cyclist began a 364 mi ride across a state at the western edge of the​ state, at the same time that a car traveli
maw [93]
The car's average rate  is 43.7 mph. The bicycle's average rate is 12.3 mph.

To get this solution, let the bicycle's average rate be (x) and the car's average rate be (x + 31.4) mph. 

Distance= Speed x Time
364 = (x + x + 31.4) 6.5
364 = (2x + 31.4) 6.5
364/6.5 = 2x + 31.4
56 = 2x + 31.4
56 - 31.4 = 2x
24.6 = 2x
24.6/2 = x
12.3 = x

x = 12.3 mph     
x+31.4 = 43.7 mph
