There is no special speed for that.

There are many kinds of army ants that eat many kinds of prey, mainly insects, and eat them at different speeds, but also other animals that they capture.

Big prey they only can eat if it can't get away, say if it is tied up. The way they eat it is by tearing bits off it, or pulling it apart, carrying the bits back to the brood, and eating tiny bits or feeding it to their young.

That is quite a slow process, but there are so many ants that prey doesn't last very long.

Of course, if they have large prey like a rat or a bird, it might take them a day or two to eat it all.

It depends on all sorts of things.

Do ants eats living things?

Actually, many ant species pray on other ant species. For example, many army ants, found throughout the tropics, prey on other ants' brood (immature ants, such as eggs and larvae). Some are specialized on invading the nests of other ants and grabbing the immature from the nest. When this happens, it is common to see ants from the invaded nest flee from their home, carrying their young in their mandibles. Other species have special nest entrances that can be closed with a little pebble when they sense the approach of an invading army ant raid. These behaviors must have originated in the long history between army ants and other ants, with army ants evolving mechanisms that improve their predation efficiency, and prey ants evolving mechanisms that reduce this damage.
