Answer:

They both will finish at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

John can finish $\frac{1}{6}$ of the pizza in 2 minutes.

2 minutes ---> $\frac{1}{6}$

1 minutes ---> 0.833

Billy can finish $\frac{1}{4}$ of the pizza in 3 minutes.

3 minutes ---> 0.25

1 minutes ---> 0.0833

Therefore, they both shall finish at the same time.
